There's not much sympathy for leading character Nicolette Sheridan whose very troubled character doesn't seem like someone from the upscale home that sophisticated but uncaring mother Faye Dunaway provided for her. She's got that other side of the tracks attitude, rather scrungy looking and obviously forgotten too many drunken nights at dive bars with black outs.
Running out at 18 to marry a boy from the opposite side of the tracks, she dropped out a couple of kids, and now she can't even see her mother without screaming matches going on. Neighbors Michael O'Keefe and Tracey Ellis step in to babysit when she's indisposed (i.e. Hungover), and when they run off with two of the kids, Sheridan becomes desperate and the kids are manipulated by O'Keefe to believe that he and Ellis are their parents.
Certainly the presence of Dunaway will bring on some commercial interest in this, but it's just another one dimensional dislikeable character for her, not flattering for her legacy. The film drags a bit too and has some incredibly idiotic dialog such as an argument between Sheridan and waitress coworkers after a really stupid conversation between one of those waitresses and a younger inexperienced one. The film is also very mean spirited even beyond the unpleasant storyline.
