Nora (Brooke Adams) is the mom, a truck stop waitress; her husband and the father to her daughters ran off long ago. Shade (Fairuza Balk) is the younger daughter. She's quiet and studious and speaks Spanish well enough to watch Mexican movies at the local theater, where she strikes up an acquaintance with the projectionist, a boy named Javier (Jacob Vargas). Trudi, the older sister (Ione Skye) is her polar opposite, a hellraiser who skips school and sleeps with every guy in town.All three women go through changes over the course of the movie. Nora has an encounter with her old lover Raymond, who happens to be a married man, then starts dating the exotically named Hamlet Humphrey. Shade develops a crush on her friend Darius, while trying to match her mother up with a man. After Trudi is cruelly dumped by her latest boyfriend, she falls for Dank, a young English rockhound who is looking for rocks in local mines.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })James Brolin plays John, the Chekhov's Gunman. | |

Girlish Pigtails | |
| Gas Food Lodging / int_2e39af52 | comment |
Girlish Pigtails: For much of the early part of the film Shade is wearing her hair in girlish pigtails. This is both to mark her as distinct from her sexually adventurous sister, and to set up a Letting Her Hair Down rite of passage when she stops wearing the pigtails as she starts pursuing boys. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Gas Food Lodging / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Shade arranges a surprise date for her mom with a cool guy that Shade met outside a bar...namely Raymond, the married man that Nora had a long-term affair with. The two of them make polite but knowingly sarcastic small talk during dinner, rather than spoil things for a hopeful Shade. | |
