this be an excellent film with an excellent story play by an excellent cast . rocky and a teenager with a horribly disfigure skull try to fit in . his mother and ably play by cher and portray a biker babe who love her son but little else . sam eliot play her biker boyfriend but also have a soft spot for rocky . rocky love a blind girl and play wonderfully by laura dern . all in all and this be a touching and but not overly sappy film . this one be worth a watch .
