Synopsis: Five women, Rose McNeal (Sigourney Weaver), Eve Houston (Angela Bassett), Joan Walker (Cher), Holly Harrison (Demi Moore), and Anne Prynne (Whoopi Goldberg), are all women with a challenge. Rose is an aging, washed-up singer with an addiction to amphetamines. Eve is a school principal with an abusive husband. Joan is a bored housewife having an affair with a younger man. Holly is an ad exec. with dreams of being a fashion designer, but too meek to do anything. And Anne is a successful lesbian who battles a codine addiction. As the women's' lives begin to fall apart, so do they, until they all join a support group and find love and support.

What the press would say:

At the end of this movie you want to stand up and cheer! This film is inspiring and dramatic. Sigourney Weaver give perhaps the best leading performance in the last ten years as a washed-up singer with a drug addiction. Demi Moore is fabulous supporting as a battered woman who refuses to acknowledge her husbands abuse. Cher has never been more brilliant in her role as a woman unhappy with her marriage and having an affair. And not since What's Love Got To Do With It has Angela Bassett played a role better. She becomes the shy ad exec. who desperately wants to fashion design. Whoopi Goldberg returns to drama as a businesswoman who has an addiction to cocaine. The film of the year.
