Summary: I love this movie
Review: Bette Midler is wonderful in this movie. Barbara Hershey gives an outstanding performance. I love their friendship and how it goes through the different phases, and yet at the end they are there for one another, to support one another. This movie is definitely a tear-jerker, yet a classic.

Summary: A fun time revisiting old feelings
Review: I saw this cd on Amazon and I just had to buy it. I cannot believe that I never thought to buy this soundtrack sooner. Bette's voice is sublime and her talent is incomparable to that of any other star.

It was fun revisting all of the old feelings and memories that were jogged by the songs on this soundtrack. I recommend this cd because, well, it's just that good and so much fun! Get the cd for "wind beneath my wings" alone but I guarantee that every song is a gem.

Summary: classic tale of friendship still a fantastic movie
Review: BEACHES, based on the novel by Iris Rainer Dart, is a fantastic and emotion-driven drama/comedy. Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey turn in fabulous fully-realised performances as two best friends who share an amazing relationship.

On the beach in Atlantic City, 11-year-olds CC Bloom and Hillary Whitney strike up a friendship that will endure beyond all obstacles. Through letters spanning the years, the two women vent their frustrations, hopes and dreams.

Bette Midler is mesmerising as the brash CC Bloom (the 'Otto Titsling' number is alone worth the price of admission). Barbara Hershey wisely downplays the role of Hillary though she never is upstaged by Midler.

Supporting roles from John Heard, Spalding Gray and Lainie Kazan (as CC's mother Leona) are right on target. Mayim Bialik (TV's "Blossom") plays the younger CC.

This film could have easily fallen into soapy melodrama thanks to it's plot, but the direction of Garry Marshall saves it from becoming too maudlin.

Still one fantastic movie!

Summary: It Will Always Be a Favorite
Review: I can't recall when I first saw this movie. It was years ago, and I was living abroad at the time, but it has been a favorite ever since. There's something about the story that is very universal, that can appeal to everyone in any place at any time. Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey are two women who meet on the beach as little girls and stay friends throughout their lives despite everything that life throws at them. It's an incredible, powerful story. You owe it to yourself to see this movie.

Summary: A favorite!!!
Review: I can't even remember the first time I saw this movie, and I also don't know how many times I have seen it. Every time I see this movie I cry like a baby. It's so emotional. Even though it's not one that I can watch every day, it's still one of my all time favorites. The song that Bette Midler sings at the end of the movie, brings me to tears every single time. Although I wouldn't recommend it for men for the most part, it's a classic chick flick.

Review: This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It rates right up there with other classics like "An Affair to Remember". A little sugary but overall a feel good movie. Every time I watch it, I feel good!
