Sweet if somewhat hokey.

Tanya’s Score: Good*

Rated: PG-13

Starring: a diva, a stranger thing and the hottest man of the 80s (other than Bob Hoskins)

Plot: In 1963, a single eccentric mother (Cher) relocates and attempts to settle down in a small Massachussetts town with her daughters (Winona Ryder; Christina Ricci).

Tanya’s Verdict: I loved this one when I first saw it as a teenager. In my memory it was a deep and complex story filled with deep and complex characters. In reality, it’s a nice if somewhat hokey story with nice if somewhat hokey characters. But I’ll make any excuse to stare at 1990 Michael Schoeffling all day long.

*Four score descriptions: Sh**; Okay; Good; Great
