Finn Taylor's quirky comedy Cherish concerns Zoe (Robin Tunney), a woman unlucky in love. She is berated at work and always seems to strike out with the opposite sex. After being asked by an attractive co-worker (Jason Priestley) to dance at a party, Zoe is kidnapped by a stalker who has fallen in love with her. During a scuffle, they accidentally kill a police officer. The stalker disappears and Zoe is charged with the crime. Soon she is under house arrest. The technician in charge of her ankle bracelet (Tim Blake Nelson) is as socially awkward as she is. Soon they grow close and he gets her a nine-hour window in which the pair tries to find the stalker and clear her name. Rocker Liz Phair and Saturday Night Live alumnus Nora Dunn round out the cast of this film that was screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
Didn't know what to expect when I ordered this one. But it is truly an original. Funny, creepy, sad all rolled into one. And loved the music!!! Definitely worth a look.
I really loved this movie because it's not your typical, predictable movie. You can relate to Zoe because haven't we all felt socially akward, lonely, and out of place at one time or another? I liked it also because the ending was not one you would expect. The ending scene is awesome and I love that song "I Love You" by Climax Blues Band. I am going to download all the songs from this movie!
Completely random. The plot is barely there, the characters are truly bizarre, things are left unexplained, and the ending makes absolutely no sense. The only decent part was the soundtrack.
This movie is too bazaar to recommend on any level. Funny, quirky?? Although the performances are competent enough, they are hampered by a lifeless script that has no purpose or reason for being. Do not rent this if you are looking for a dark comedy or interesting characters. They are all so pathetically boring that you end up wondereing why you spent the electricity to watch it. There are moments when you think, "Oh, now it's getting interesting" and just at that moment it becomes boring once again. Save yourself and time by watching paint dry rather than this movie.
