Rent Rambling Rose (1991)

Rose (Laura Dern) is a girl with a lot of love to give. The problem is she's not particular who she gives it to and worse, when she moves in with the Hillyer family, her generosity starts running wild. In no time at all, Daddy Hillyer (Robert Duvall) has his hands full resisting her amorous advances and 13 year old Buddy (Lukas Haas) has his hands full keeping up with her lessons in love.

And then there's the boys from the town - drooling, fighting and making fools of themsleves, all for the chance of a moment with Rose. Thanks to this naive and promiscuous young woman, 1935 is a year everyone in Glenville, Georgia is going to remember for the rest of their lives. Rambling Rose is a beautifully acted, charming comic drama with a screenplay by Calder Willingham, based on his own novel.

Rambling Rose review by Shatner's Bassoon

Entertaining and touching

Set in the 1930's, Rambling Rose revolves around the story of Rose, a young, restless and free spirited orphan girl, in search of affection. Employed as a maid by a Southern family of high moral values, it's not long before Rose soon brings chaos to the well ordered household, but at the same time also brings some love into a loveless family. It's a nice easygoing but edgy story with some great characters, and if anything shows what a great character actress Laura Dern is, and a real shame she has somewhat dropped of the radar.
