This movie has gone largely unseen since its release almost a decade ago. I suspect a lot of the blame for this lies on the movie itself. Content with drifting between slick romantic comedy conventions and thriller standards, Cherish is a difficult movie to pin down and, I would assume, market to the masses. This being typed, many of these shifts in tone are helped along by the joyful and aware performances from a game cast as well as a truly rocking soundtrack of vintage sing-along hits from days gone by.Zoe, as portrayed by Robin Tunney, is a hero worth playing along with in her cat and mouse game, perfecting her strategy to unmask a dangerous stalker while under house arrest for a crime she didn't necessarily commit. In between her quests for clues, she has an even bigger nemesis to face down; boredom. This leads Zoe to several colorful situations with her diverse group of neighbors and, more interestingly, herself.
Cherish is definitely worth a watch because it sparkles. That's really the best I can say for this little picture. Much like its lead character it's impossible not to like, flaws and all.
