Description

Mermaids is a 1990 American comedy-drama film directed by Richard Benjamin. The film stars Cher as Rachel Flax, a single mother who moves with her two daughters, played by Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci, to a new town in Massachusetts in the early 1960s. The film follows the family as they navigate the challenges of growing up and coming of age.

The film explores the themes of family, love, and independence. Rachel is a free-spirited and unconventional mother who is more concerned with her own happiness than her daughters' well-being. However, as her daughters begin to experience their own struggles and challenges, Rachel is forced to confront her own shortcomings as a mother. The film also touches on the issue of gender roles and the changing attitudes towards women's roles in society during the 1960s.

Overall, Mermaids is a poignant and humorous portrayal of family dynamics and the challenges of growing up. The film's themes of love and independence are still relevant today, making it a timeless classic. Cher delivers a strong performance as Rachel, and Ryder and Ricci shine as her daughters. The film's 1960s setting and soundtrack add to its charm and nostalgia, making it a must-see for fans of coming-of-age films.

Previously known as Tyler Perry Presents Peeples, this movie represents best practice of the genre. The product of Tyler Perry's genius combined with fresh look of debuting director Tina Gordon Chism worth two hours of your attention for sure. It's not exactly Medea's-like comedy with Tyler Perry dressed as big and monstrous Afro-American woman, Peeples (2013) is more like Our Family Wedding filmed a year ago in 2012. It's funny, spontaneous, lively yet ironic. The action of Peeples revolves around the events at the reunion. A wealthy big family gathers in small town to enjoy each other company. The situation is heating up when Wade Walker, a young infamous "looser", decides to ask a hand of Peeples' lovely daughter Grace' at the pivotal point this rejoicing . This out of the blue surprise causes the effect of chain reaction, which ignites an extraordinary comic turmoil in Hamptons. Nevertheless, Wade Walker has to learn that there are different kinds of Peeples and even the "worst" of them could not be a serious obstacle for true love. Although, Peeples is a directorial debut of Tina Gordon Chism, who was previously known mostly as writer (ATL, Drumline), she managed to gather some brilliant cast: Kerry Washington (Olivia Pope from Scandal, Broomhilda von Schaft from Django Unchained) plays as Grace Peeples, while Craig Robinson (Hot Tub Time Machine, Eastbound & Down) plays as Wade Walker.
