About Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael

Movie star Roxy Carmichael is abandoning the bright lights of Hollywood, Calif. and returning to her small Ohio hometown -- at least long enough to dedicate a city building.

Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael is a 1990 comedy film directed by Jim Abrahams. Its themes are adoption, celebrity, reunion, and fame.

Winona Ryder stars as Dinky Bossetti, Jeff Daniels as Denton Webb, Stephen Tobolowsky as Mayor Bill Klepler, and Dinah Manoff as Evelyn Whittacher. Released in October 1990, it runs 95 minutes.

The screenplay is by Karen Leigh Hopkins. It was produced by ITC Entertainment and Paramount Pictures.

The Breakfast Club, The Edge of Seventeen, and The Half of It make useful companions to Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael, all filed under coming of age, high school, and teenage rebellion. TMDB voters put it at 6.1 out of 10 across 110 votes and it carries a PG-13 rating.
