''Corrina, Corrina'' is a 1994 drama film starring Creator/WhoopiGoldberg, Creator/RayLiotta and Tina Majorino.
The plot involves a recently-widowed 1950s father Manny Singer (Liotta) who works as an advertising agent hiring a housekeeper/nanny,
Corrina Washington (Goldberg) to care for his young daughter, Molly (Majorino). While she eventually grows close to Molly, there is also an eventual undeniable mutual attraction between the two adults, in spite of the reactions of those around them.
It is also notable for being the last project of Oscar-winning veteran actor, Creator/DonAmeche, who played Manny's father and who died after filming was completed. The film is dedicated in his memory.
!!Related Tropes:
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Molly is teased on her first day of school by her class for drawing Corrina instead of her mother, amongst other things.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: As an advertising agent, Manny apparently co-wrote the famous "Jell-O" jingle.
* BlackGalOnWhiteGuyDrama: Neither Manny nor Corrina's friends and relatives approve of their budding romance.
* MagicalNegro: Downplayed: while Corrina really doesn't have any special powers, she does one thing that impresses Molly into thinking that she is where age can change the traffic lights to green by blowing a puff of wind.
* MissingMom: Manny's wife and Molly's mother, Annie, died right before the events of the film took place.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: For her birthday after her grandparents told her they will take her to anywhere in the world that she wishes, she decides to go to the ''car wash'', having been previously impressed by the mechanics of the process.
