Set in 1980s New Jersey, this made-for-TV movie follows two young women emotionally fragile Debby (Uma Thurman) and single mum Beth (Juliette Lewis) as they look for true love in their small town.
Director Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) draws terrific performances from her two leads(Thurman landed a Golden Globe for her troubles), as well as co-star Gena Rowlands, but the cast is ultimately far superior to the film itself, which feels too thinly plotted to make much of an impact.
