After yet another failed relationship, Mrs. Flax (Cher) ups her family to the east coast to start all over again. Reluctantly dragged along with her is her daughter Charlotte - going through a very confusing time of her life - who wants to become a nun, and instead falls in love with a quiet, mild-mannered church employee, to the mixed response of her mother.

Trivia
In the scene where Charlotte and her mother fight about Kate's accident, Charlotte gets angry and breaks a plate. The scene ends with her mother slapping her in the face after a rude comment. The exact same things happened in Cher's film Mask. See more »Goofs
Continuity: During the fight between Charlotte and Mrs. Flax (in the kitchen, after Kate nearly drowns,) Mrs. Flax leaves the kitchen and returns with a suitcase, the mascara of her right eye running down her cheek. We cut away, and quickly cut back; her eye makeup is perfect. See more »Quotes
Charlotte Flax: Okay mom, if you want to drive Lou away, that's your buisness. If you want Joe, it's war.See more »
