Edward is attracted to Peg's daughter Kim (Winona Ryder) whose boyfriend Jim (Anthony Michael Hall) is a bully. But, Edward's happiness proves short-lived when he is accused of a crime, and only Peg and Kim rise to his defense. 1 User Review

| | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | This movie was so sweet and heartwarming. You may never know it from the cover, but this is one of the nicest movies ever created. Johnny Depp strays from his usual cute look into kind of a grunge look, but you still feel for his character. |

Guarding Tess 1994  PG-13, 98 min.

One of the worst assignments for a Secret Service agent is the unglamorous role of guarding U.S. ex-Presidents' family members. A former First Lady, Tess (Shirley MacLaine), puts her staff through their paces as she lives out her years secluded in her home following her husband's death. Doug Chesnic (Nicholas Cage) is her choice for "protector," and their interactions provide a comedic relief to a dramatic story.

British director Paul Greengrass presents this documentary-style re-enactment of events, based on honest assumptions of passengers' reactions that day on September 11, 2001, when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. The story flashes back and forth between air traffic control centers and the flight itself as ordinary people were caught in a dire situation during which they colllectively determined to resist the terrorists now flying the plane by rushing the cockpit–or die trying to accomplish their heroic deed. The film recieved two Oscar nominations, including Best Director.
