  Good film
  
  Funny and moving. Great acting from Winona Ryder, Cher, and a very young Christina Ricci. Unusual. Feel-good movie.
  
  Very enjoyable.

  A film I have long awaited to see, heard so much about it and it was worth the wait. A feel good film about a disfunctional family, well worth watching.
