Businessman Manny Singer (Ray Liotta) needs a reliable nanny to watch his daughter, Molly (Tina Majorino), in the absence of her late mother, yet the early applicants are unimpressive. Molly has barely talked since her mother's death, but when Corrina Washington (Whoopi Goldberg) gets the girl chatting, she lands the job. Although some think their relationship is ahead of its time for the 1950s, African-American Corrina and Manny, who is white, soon appear to be headed for romance.

Corrina, Corrina has its heart in the right place, and its characters are some of the nicest people I've met at the movies lately, but the movie seems to exist under a cloud of gloom, and I kept hoping for sunshine.

For the most part, the actors are asked to play social types rather than real characters.

Whoopi's great triumph is that she plays the kind of maid that has never been seen on the screen before...Whoopi's liberated maid is a symbolic payback of sorts for all those years of silver screen servitude for black actresses.

2/5

A preachy and manipulative tearjerkering melodrama that mishandles its pseudo-emotional longwindedness. Goldberg and Liotta derved better than this punctuated pap
