Curiosidades
Unfortunately, the scene where other kids throw food at Dinky was quite familiar to actress Winona Ryder. Ryder has described being called a weirdo and having Cheetos thrown at her by some girls in eighth grade because she wore a crew cut and listened to Sex Pistols.

When Evelyn shows up at Roxy's welcome home party, her ponytail is not the same color as the rest of her hair.

Citações
[in English class, Dinky has been asked to read out her poem]
Dinky Bossetti: From a deep, immaculate kiss, she spread her two ripe, dripping limbs. And then I happened.
Miss Day Ashburn: I beg your pardon?
Dinky Bossetti: And the moon throbbed and fought with an angry sun. All that day and all that night. Until it forced me out.
Miss Day Ashburn: Dinky.
[steps away from her desk, moves next to Gerald and starts directing the poem at him. He squirms with embarrassment]
Dinky Bossetti: Now I scald here... alone. Touch me. With your white words and your dead hands. Now, before I freeze.
Miss Day Ashburn: That'll be enough!
Dinky Bossetti: And become one of you.
Miss Day Ashburn: DINKY!
Dinky Bossetti: You interrupted me.

Winona Ryder great but the movie is lacking

15 years ago, Roxy Carmichael left town leaving behind her boyfriend and new baby. Now, she's coming home as a success story. Her former boyfriend Denton Webb (Jeff Daniels) is still not over her despite being married with kids. Dinky Bossetti (Winona Ryder) is adopted, bullied at school and a loner who keeps lots of animals at an abandoned boat. Dinky is convinced that she's the love child of Roxy and Denton. She's interested in class hunk Gerald Howells but he's reluctant to show affection for the class freak. Her only friend is the school counselor Elizabeth Zaks.

Winona Ryder is perfectly cast as this sensitive outsider teen. She is great at playing this type of character. The rest of the movie lacks humor. It tries to be a sharp black comedy but the writing isn't good enough. Director Jim Abrahams is more known for his spoof movies. He doesn't seem to have a solid hold on a sensitive serious coming-of-age movie. The tone is awkward. The attempted comedy slams into Denton's anger and his side of the story. The movie works with Ryder but struggles without her.
