Where the Heart Is

The fun in this movie is watching Uma Thurman as she is REALLY young in this but you can see early that she's going to be a star. Crispin Glover is Crispin Glover, not far removed from George McFly. The story is a bit of a stretch but it works well. The role by Chris Plummer is well who would have thought. The rest of the cast is somewhat forgettable but they play their roles well. Joanna Cassidy is a long way from her premier role in Bladerunner. And finally, Dabney Coleman and without him, there is no movie. The plot summary here doesn't really go into how McBain's business goes under which is an ironic riot. If you like a movie that will make you giggle while displaying a really quaint sensibility I highly recommend it. It's way underrated.

I love watching this movie. I think they have a rather accurate interpretation of family dynamics and bickering (granted most people aren't that wealthy and/or involved in explosives.) Plus! The artwork in it is just wonderful.
