Synopsis
Movie star Roxy Carmichael is abandoning the bright lights of Hollywood, Calif. and returning to her small Ohio hometown -- at least long enough to dedicate a city building. And now the whole town of Clyde is bracing for Carmichael's return, most of all her now-married old flame Denton Webb and troubled teen Dinky Bossetti. An orphan with few friends, Dinky is convinced that Carmichael is her birth mother, and that the actress will reclaim her when she returns.

I think it's great! The return of the famous Roxy Carmicheal to her hometown intertwines with the life of Dinky. I might be biased because I love Winona Ryder, but I really enjoyed the character of Dinky — a quirky teenager ostracized by most, who feels more comfortable with animals than with her adoptive parents. The film starts off a bit weak but becomes more interesting as it goes on, and we finally see some characters who treat the protagonist as she deserves.

Excellent interpretation of Winona Ryder.
