Summary: 4 Stars
Cher plays a free-spirited, uninhibited and saucy mother of two. Charlotte (Winona Ryder) and Kate (Christina Ricci), who are about 15- and 8-years old respectively, are her daughters. Cher's behavior and appearance is an embarrassment to Charlotte who is trying to think "pure thoughts" on her way to becoming a nun. Ironically (considering Ryder's recent troubles) the part she plays has no interest in new clothes and even refuses new shoes, content with her old square boots that look like they were made in the former Soviet Union during the reign of Stalin. This is a nice (but increasingly familiar) switch on the mother who is embarrassed by her daughter's precocious sexuality, and Cher and Ryder play their parts well.The story, from a novel by Patty Dann, begins with the trio moving into yet another town, this time somewhere in New England. They are always on the run, so to speak, because Cher is afraid of commitment or of staying around long enough to lose her heart to some guy. Enter predictably a man (Bob Hoskins) with the right stuff to win her over and a cute guy (Michael Schoeffing) to rearrange Charlotte's priorities. Director Richard Benjamin plays it as a romantic comedy ... coming of ager with wit and charm. Ryder is adorably cute as a conservative Christian miss goody two shoes who is always lecturing mom while Cher is voluptuous as the kind of woman who says yes, early and often, but underneath it all has strength and a kind of intuitive wisdom about herself and the people around her. Little Ricci really is the mermaid since she likes to practice holding her breath under water.
Part of the strength of the film is in the dialogue and the sharp repartee between Ryder and Cher. My favorite line is from Charlotte who is always dialoging with God. After seeing Schoeffing, who drives the school bus, and realizing what she is feeling, prays "Oh please God, don't make me fall in love and want to do disgusting things!"
Movie Review: great movie about families and relationships

Summary: 5 Stars
Terrific little movie & great performances by Cher, Bob Hoskins, Winona Ryder & Christina Ricci. Cher is the sexy mom, W. Ryder is the hormonal 15 year old girl who desperately wants to be a nun... Christina Ricci is the swimming champ who practices in the bathtub and Bob Hoskins is the man who tries to turn the trio into a family, what happens along the way is something for you to see...Features a fun soundtrack & The Shoop Shoop song (IT's in his kiss) by Cher.
Movie Review: Dumb Title, Good Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen Mermaids 8 times and I still love it! It's touching, funny, and most of all it's my favorite movie! Cher plays a sassy widow who has two daughters, one strange teenage one(Winona Ryder), and one absolutely cute one(Christina Ricci). Later on in the movie Cher encounters Mr. Bob Hoskins, and he starts falling in love with her. I do not know why they named it Mermaids. I think they could have picked a better name. Rated PG-13 fo sensual thoughts, one scene with sensuality, and language.
