Another ex-rental on VHS i bought back in the early 90s after becoming a fan of Winona.
Tbh my first impressions of this weren't good, this was more to do with her dressing down for the role rather than the actual movie, something my teenage self couldn't quite adjust too.
Fast forward 30 years and my impressions are better, although still far from great.
The story seems quite hard to believe, the character is quite intelligent, yet is clutching at straws thinking this celebrity is her natural mother.
It certainly has more of a TV movie feel to it, the budget feels pretty low with the locations used, and the soundtrack has nothing memorable to it. It has a couple of nice moments, but the film feels disjointed and the predictable ending does nothing a plot twist could have improved.
Had it not been for Winona and Jeff Daniels its not something i would be re-watching that's for sure!
