A bizarre situation involving lots of drinks, a stalker, a car and a policeman leads to the house arrest of normally mild-mannered San Francisco animator Zoe Adler (Robin Tunney). Though confined to her apartment by an electronic bracelet, Zoe is intent on clearing her name, so she enlists the aid of her kindhearted parole officer, Daly (Tim Blake Nelson), who stops by regularly. As Daly assists Zoe in her investigation, the two begin to fall for each other, resulting in an unlikely romance.

Critics Consensus

The different genres in Cherish don't mesh well, and the quirkiness sometimes feels too forced.

The mix of tones can be jarring, but it all has an odd charm.

In the end, it becomes the cinematic equivalent of one of the songs Tunney adores: enjoyable enough while it lasts, but so thin that its ingratiating charms seem as much a source of frustration as pleasure.

Cherish is one of those movies in which the soundtrack is better than the movie itself.

A witty little thriller emerges as Zoe, under house arrest, resourcefully stretches her electronic anklet's restrictions.

2.5/5

With all the time spent watching stir-crazy manacled Zoe viewing too much TV and listening to too much Human League, you can't help but feel like you're under house arrest too.

Robin Tunney and Tim Blake Nelson make a pretty good couple in this oddball psycho thriller that really isn't too dark with its stalker villain, but dry humorous with a quirky heroine under house arrest and her ankle brace mechanic who is drier than dust. Their two characters and the wheelchair bound dwarf make this movie worth a watch.
