Mermaids (1990)



An unconventional single mother relocates with her two daughters to a small Massachusetts town in 1963, where a number of events and relationships both challenge and strengthen their familial bonds.

Erratic comedy-drama doesn't really go anywhere, but entertains with a great lively ensemble and some good scenes.  

Halliwell (no star): "A romantic comedy uncertain whether it is trying for laughs or tears; it attempts, unsuccessfully, to settle for both."

Maltin***: "Lively mix of comedy and drama...Funny and affecting, with a standout performance by Ryder..."
