Summary
Within a few minutes it seems like Now And Then is going
to be little more than a nostalgia trip bolstered by the
Super Hits of the '70s, complete with a smiley-face and
polyester pastels. So it's surprising that this baby-boomer's
stroll down memory lane turns out to be modestly agreeable,
despite its cornball eagerness to please.
In the "Now" scenes that frame the film, four women reunite
to celebrate the firstborn child of Chrissy (Rita Wilson), the
only one of the foursome who is presently married. Tina
(Melanie Griffith) has realized her dreams of Hollywood fame;
Samantha (Demi Moore) is a successful but lonely author of
science fiction; and Roberta (Rosie O'Donnell) has a fully
established medical career. While growing up in their hometown
of Shelby, Indiana, they made a pact to stick together whenever
one of them needed support.
"Then"—the summer of 1970—is where the film shifts its focus,
when the 12-year-old girls were already showing indications of
the women they would become. Roberta (Christina Ricci) has yet
to fully recover from her mother's accidental death; Tina or
"Teeny" (Thora Birch) is already grooming herself for show-biz;
Samantha (Gaby Hoffmann) is coping with her parents' imminent
divorce; and Chrissy (newcomer Ashleigh Aston Moore—no relation
to Demi) is the awkward one, her head filled with her mother's
prudish lessons about sex.
