About This Movie

So, 'Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even' is this quirky comedy from '92 directed by Joan Micklin Silver. It captures that chaotic family vibe really well. The pacing is interesting, with a blend of humor and heartfelt moments. The plot revolves around a girl who just can't take her eccentric family anymore and decides to run away, which sparks this wild chain reaction, forcing everyone to interact in ways they might not normally. The performances are genuine, especially from the lead, who navigates the absurdity of her situation with a nice balance of comedy and depth. It feels very much like early '90s indie fare, capturing the essence of family dysfunction in a light-hearted way, making you both laugh and reflect a bit. It's got a charm that's hard to overlook.
