Winona Ryder has a big collection of forgotten but first-rate movies, and this is no exception. The acting was really good, and the music on the soundtrack made it memorable. Well worth a look, and a second, and a third...
Rochelle: "Dinky Dean Bossetti, is that the yellow sweater i bought for you last week? That was a thirty-two dollar sweater, missy, and you dyed it black, didn't you? After you promised me you wouldn't.
Dinky: Correction. I didn't promise I wouldn't. I said I'd try not to."

Awkward. This film would've worked better without Dinky (And how is that character not a huge lesbian? The scene with the guidance counsellor..?)
15 years old Dinky Bossetti (Winona Ryder) was adopted as a baby & she never knew her real parents who believes Roxy is her birth mother. She has a pig, a goat, a turtle, & a bunch of dogs.
Dinky is the abandoned daughter of a minor movie star named Roxy Carmichael (Ava Fabian)...( read more)
dinky is the "nerd" of the town but actually of course is really cool. she is convinced a famous person is her mother and it freaks everyone out.
It was not bad or good. It could have been better. Something to watch on tv.

One of my all time favorites - a great flick in the "teens who just don't fit in" genre. "It's good to want things!"
