Cher should make more movies
This is one of my favorite Cher movies. The fact that Nicholas Cage also plays a leading role helps, too. This movie is full of passion and angst. It is about how we grow up - or not - within our families. It shows that on many levels we cause pain, guilt, and more pain for those we love most. It also reveals that among the difficulties is the chance for sweet fulfillment.This movie also has many lighter moments. The "over the top" drama is used to great comedic advantage. The characters, of all generations, are well rounded and very interesting. Because we are all products of imperfect and perhaps neurotic families, we can laugh at the familiar family interactions.I highly recommend this movie. Furthermore, I would like to suggest that Cher should focus on her acting career now that she has finished her (last?) "Good-bye Tour." She can contribute to many more great movies!
