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.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
le_lee_2000 I Love this movie. I could watch it every single day for the rest of my life. It's one of those girlie movies when you can identify with every problem and person in the movie. Melissa Etheridge uses her Grammy award winning talent with this amazing song in the movie. I still sing parts of those songs at least once a week. I absolutely love this move love love love love this movie and i think you will too. I watched this movie years and years and years ago and I still talk about it way more that I should but anytime I mention the name people look at me and say that I totally made it up. People know me as the t.v. Queen because I literally have watched every mini series, every made for t.v. movie and don't let me talk about all the movies I used to watch on USA Up All Night when Gilbert Godffrey was the host. But if you are a avid movie watcher like myself this is a movie for the record books. Did I mention how Great this movie really is. I love this movie.
labyrinth640 The movie is focused on the whole town of Clyde, Ohio, yet it's basically centered around Dinky. Dinky is a misfit, both at home (she's adopted) and school. Although most kids would not enjoy this and would want to keep their heads down, Dinky has her head up and is not afraid to admit that she's different. The town is going bonkers over the arrival of Roxy Charmichael, a person who went from a somebody in Clyde, to a somebody all across the world. You also get to see the life of Roxy's former love interest before she left Ohio, a man named Denton. Denton and Dinky form an interesting bond, she's obsessed with Roxy, he know literally everything about her. She becomes convinced that Roxy is her mom, due to what Denton tells her one day. All in all this movie is an original classic that let's the viewrs look into the life of nearly the whole town. Watch for Carla Gugino's cameo appearence at the very begining of the movie as young Roxy. The movie is basically saying, everybody wants to be somebody else, whether it's a famous person, or the kid next door, everybody wants to be somebody. This is a fine movie, so if you have nothing else to watch on t.v. and this is on, give it a shot.
Jaid1965 Thomas Wilson Brown as Gerald Howells made this movie. This under used actor lent a sweet sentiment to a good movie that was having trouble finding it's way. Go ahead, watch it again. But, this time watch Thomas Wilson Brown. It becomes a whole different movie.
Julien-11 Winona Ryder has a big collection of forgotten but first-rate movies, and this is no exception. The acting was really good, and the music on the soundtrack made it memorable. Well worth a look, and a second, and a third...
