This movie "spoke" to me. Every song, every scene and every line, had relevance for me.
The topics covered in "5 & Dime," are varied, and some are gut-wrenching! All of the character's dialogue, wonderfully written, and impeccably performed, by the great cast. Every character had an interesting story to tell.
The first time I saw it, I believe crazy Mona, and gender bender Joanne, stood out the most. Repeated viewings revealed more and more, each time I saw it.
The store keeper Juanita, who lied to herself, - loudmouth airhead Stella, - mousy Edna Louise, - sexy Sissy, and the very tragic Joe; were all just marvelous characters, and perfectly portrayed by the actors.
If you find one or two characters in a movie, intriguing, you've done well. This one is loaded with them!
After several viewings, I have come to the conclusion that Cher is actually the one that carries this movie. She's the spark plug.
Cher as Sissy, flaunting her big bazooms, and trying to laugh, while tears are welling up in her eyes, performs a masterful piece of acting. It looked real! That is just one of many examples, of her talent.
She didn't stand out much in my first viewing, but she is truly a fine actress, and I believe this is her best work.
I don't know who to credit for the manner in which the "flashbacks" were performed, but they were unique and extremely enjoyable to me.
I cannot praise this film enough, but it's not for everyone. I believe it did poorly at the box office, not really a surprise, with no car chases, nudity or even profanity in it.
Years ago, I raved about the movie to a friend of mine. The next time I saw him, he smiled and said, "You got me good!" He thought I had tricked him. He rented the movie and turned it off half way through! haha Oh well...
