Cher plays a free-spirited, uninhibited and saucy mother of two. Charlotte (Winona Ryder) and Kate (Christina Ricci), who are about 15- and 8-years conventional respectively, are her daughters. Cher’s behavior and appearance is an embarrassment to Charlotte who is trying to mediate “pure thoughts” on her design to becoming a nun. Ironically (considering Ryder’s modern troubles) the piece she plays has no interest in novel clothes and even refuses recent shoes, articulate with her customary square boots that inspect like they were made in the venerable Soviet Union during the reign of Stalin. This is a nice (but increasingly familiar) switch on the mother who is embarrassed by her daughter’s precocious sexuality, and Cher and Ryder play their parts well.
The anecdote, from a new by Patty Dann, begins with the trio provocative into yet another town, this time somewhere in Current England. They are always on the speed, so to narrate, because Cher is vexed of commitment or of staying around long enough to lose her heart to some guy. Enter predictably a man (Bob Hoskins) with the good stuff to obtain her over and a cute guy (Michael Schoeffing) to rearrange Charlotte’s priorities. Director Richard Benjamin plays it as a romantic comedy … coming of ager with wit and charm. Ryder is adorably cute as a conservative Christian miss goody two shoes who is always lecturing mom while Cher is voluptuous as the kind of woman who says yes, early and often, but underneath it all has strength and a kind of intuitive wisdom about herself and the people around her. Dinky Ricci really is the mermaid since she likes to practice holding her breath under water.
Part of the strength of the film is in the dialogue and the bright repartee between Ryder and Cher. My popular line is from Charlotte who is always dialoging with God. After seeing Schoeffing, who drives the school bus, and realizing what she is feeling, prays “Oh please God, don’t produce me descend in treasure and want to do disgusting things!”
Mermaids is narrated by the angst-filled teenaged Charlotte Flax (Ryder), who is wrathful by the tendency of her mother (Cher) to depart house (and site) as soon as the bin’s tubby, or (more likely) as soon as her latest entanglement with a married boss starts to unravel. Mrs Flax, as Charlotte disparagingly refers to her mother Rachel, is a peripatetic soul, whose only acknowledge to life’s challenges is to leave them slow. For Charlotte, the only consolation to her most unsatisfactory lifestyle is her adoration of her miniature sister, Kate (Ricci), on whom she dotes. In spite of their Jewish origins, Charlotte is obsessed with the mysteries, icons and rites of the Catholic Church. Its rituals of penitence and martyrdom fascinate her and she can describe the history and gruesome fate of each of the martyred saints in all their goriest detail.

As we are introduced to the Flax girls, mother and daughter are embroiled in conflict again, as they net themselves in a unusual home and a fresh residence, this time Massachusetts. The brooding teenager and her charismatic mother have very different priorities of need as they area up their unique home. Charlotte needs grounding, Rachel needs distraction and action. Their conflict spills over as the family goes to retract shoes, particularly when Rachel does nothing to deflect the more-than-professional attention she receives from the shoe store owner, Lou Landsky (Hoskins) . This particularly galls Charlotte, who carries a fantasy in her heart that the father she never knew will one day reach attend and complete her family and her longing.
She regards her mother’s acceptance of Lou’s advances with disdain, whilst at the same time harbouring a guilt-ridden romantic obsession with young Joe Porretti (Michael Schoeffling) – a young local man with a past who works as a handyman at the nearby convent (perfect!) .

As they become more entrenched in this cramped town, Rachel and Lou expend more and more time together. He is besotted with Rachel, and becoming closer to the girls, none of which is really share of Rachel’s game thought. She is reluctant to consume in any produce of long term design (even the meals she serves are finger food – in her estimation – anything else smacks too mighty of a commitment), and does not want to include anyone else in her family.
The dilemmas and dramas of Rachel and Charlotte play out as the opposite extremes of a similar persona. Whilst Rachel is winsome, free-spirited and charismatic, and Charlotte is repressed, ultraconservative and introverted, both are utterly flamboyant and solipsistically theatrical. Each of them capture in scandalous flights of dramatic love that frequently have momentous impact on those around them whilst, in the main, they emerge relatively unscathed from their melodramatic follies.
That is, until shrimp Kate has a mishap of her gain, with potentially devastating consequences. For the first time, neither Rachel nor Charlotte have control over their bear destinies; and they do not handle it well. Whilst they wrestle with their guilt and peril by lively in the blame-fest from hell, it’s Lou who attends to the practical details.
This is a stylish Hollywood set-piece that is better than average overall. The leads all turn in obedient performances, and whilst the conclusion was probably never in noteworthy doubt, it is a sufficiently spellbinding film to warrant slothful Sunday afternoon standby state. It bears watching more than once and is sufficiently quirky to fill audience satisfaction. I quite enjoyed revisiting the film.
