kiss you so bad, Dinky.” She says,
“It’s good to want things,” and skips
off.
Others who have an impact on
Dinky include Elizabeth Zaks (Laila
Robins), the new high school guid
ance counselor; Rochelle and Les
Bosscui (Frances Fisher, Graham
Beckel), Dinky’s adoptive parents.
Elizabeth becomes Dinky’s friend,
one of the only ones that the ostra
cized teenager has. That is fortunate,
because the overdone, ovcrlacqucred,
tackily dressed Rochelle is no bar
gain as anyone’s mother. She’s disap
pointed that Dinky isn’t frilly and
into wearing blue polyester and way
too much hairspray. Instead of trying
to understand her animal-loving, biack
wearing daughter, she tries to ship
Dinky off to boarding school.
The one weak aspect of this movie
is that it’s hard to believe that one
town could be so obsessed with Roxy,
because she wasn’t well-liked before
she moved to Beverly Hills. And 15
years later, it’s kind of weird that
Roxy’s ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend
arc so fixated on her.
It’s not hard, however, to sec why
Dinky adopts Roxy as her hero. The
kid has a rotten home life and an even
worse school life. People make fun of
her, because she’s different. It’s easy
to understand how she would need
someone like Roxy to look up to.
The ending is lifelike. While it
makes the audience feel good as they
leave, it’s no Cinderella ending.
Winona Ryder is completely en
dearing as the offbeat Dinky. It’s hard
to imagine Ryder suffering the type
of tortures Dinky’s classmates sub
ject her to, but Ryder convincingly
portrays Dinky. Daniels turns in an
excellent performance as Denton
Webb. Daniels always seems to turn
up in the flaky-guy type roles — Flap
Horton in “Terms of Endearment,”
for instance — and his Denton char
acter in this film is no exception.
However, there is something touch
ing about each one of his characters,
especially Denton. Denton, like Flap
Horton seems to have this “please
like me” thing deep inside, even though
he’s sort of a jerk on the outside.
Brown, as Gerald, is tough on the
outside, afraid to go against the crowd,
but sweet on the inside. Brown does a
first-rate job of playing up the good
qualities of his character; his mo
ments on the screen, though fairly
numerous, make the aud icnce want to
see more of him.
ine performances oy ivianoit,
Robins, Fisher and Beckel also add
texture to the overall effect.
“Welcome Home, Roxy
Carmichael” is convincingly acted
and extremely funny, which more than
makes up for its sometimes-wcak plot
One of the funniest things about the
film is that it presents » typical Mid
western small town on one level, while
making fun of some of its customs on
another level. The Roxy Carmichael
Museum, the beauty shop where cus- I
tomers’ hair is lacquered to within an 1
inch of its life, the formal dresses in
sequins and blue polyester, the Roxy
Carmichael Center for Cosmetology
and Drama — all arc shown as being
elements of a small town, but come «
off as being farcical.
The inspired performances of Ryder
and Daniels, the witty lines of Ry
der’s character, and the realism of the
high school scenes make this movie |
more than worth the price of admis- 1
