Summary: It was a wonderful movie.
Review: This is a Thelma and Loise type of movie. It's about the close relationships between women. I wish I could find it on DVD, I'm going to buy it on VHS anyway. It's a *Must Have* for any woman with a sense of humor and a heart. It's definately a 5 kleenex movie but it'll make you smile too.

Summary: Just can't get enough of it.
Review: This movie sounds pretty ridiculous, I admit, but now that I've seen it, I can't see it enough times. Strong performances and strong momentummake up for a few script flaws and by about 15 minutes into the movie, I forgave the little flaws in favor of the big picture. This movie is very successful in making you really care about the characters. However Be Warned: This is a CHICK FLICK!

Summary: Heart and Soul
Review: This review refers to the WB/Regency DVD edition of "Boys on the Side"....."Sometimes...if you don't have anyplace to go, it's probably best to stay where you are" is one of Whoopi Goldberg's bits of wisdom in this film. So that's what they did.... Two strangers, women who couldn't be more different then night and day begin on a journey that will take them places far better than their intended destination. A journey of life, discovery and a friendship that knows no bounds is what unfolds in this wonderful story. The journey begins in New York. Jane(Whoopi Goldberg) and Robin(Mary-Louise Parker),both for their own reasons want to start a new life. Looking to share a ride to California, they meet and agree to make the trip together,even though from the outset it's obvious these two woman have nothing in common.When they hit Pittsburg, Jane stops in on good friend Holly(Drew Barrymore). There's trouble amiss in Holly's life though, her drug-dealing boyfriend is abusing her.The girl's take matters into thier own hands and free Holly(leaving the boyfriend tied up and injured), grab her and take her along with them.On the road with them we come to realize each has a secret of their own. As their stories unfold, these three very different woman become close and are there to help each other at any costs.The become their own little family. Men, as Robin's mother puts it,"are merely side dishes, you girls stick your fork in, when you want a taste." It's not just a story for women though. It's a story of bonding. Sharing one's own strengths with the people you are close to. It's an emotional roller coaster, you'll need the kleenex for this one!(But there's lots of laughs as well).If you like "Terms of Endearment", you'll love this one.It's a story from the heart that will touch your soul. The casting of the three stars is a stroke of genius. Goldberg, Parker, and Barrymore have a connection to each other that is a joy to watch.They put THEIR hearts and souls into this film. The supporting cast includes Anita Gillete, Estelle Parsons and Matthew McConaughey(who is just so,... well Matthew McConaughey).
The music is as much a part of the story as the characters and is excellent with songs by Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge,Pretenders,Sheryl Crow, and Whoopie herself does some singing.Oh and don't forget to see whose band is playing in "The Cantina". The DVD is as beautiful as the movie. A sharp clear picture( a little dark in some places but nothing to distract from the enjoyment of the film),nice colors, and great sound(Dolby stereo surround)is what you'll find. You have the choice of widescreen or a standard format. There are no special features(might have been nice to have a music video with all this great music), but there are subtitiles in English and French and may be viewed in those languages as well. So get the popcorn, Kleenex, and maybe a side of Brad Pitt ready for this one.....enjoy..Laurie

Summary: An incredible movie. Incredible performances, Awsome story
Review: This was an incredible movie. It is a rare movie that makes you cry and laugh and sends chills up your spine. It is a story of love and friendship. Whoopie Goldburg is wonderful as always and drew barrymore is as charming as ever but i think mary louise parker shone in this role. They all gave outstanding performances in this film. This is my favorite movie of all time and my favorite soundtrack, with an all women line up. i recommend both to everyone out there. Bring your kleenex.

Summary: Sometimes the love of your lifetime isn't who you expect
Review: Three mismatched friends set off to start new lives in the west and end up finding themselves through each other. Hilarious and heartbreaking, "Boys on the Side" is the ultimate chick flick. Anything you want, you got it, with this one.

Summary: Drew Barrymore does it again!
Review: Two women are going to CA. Jane (Goldberg), has this friend, Holly (Barrymore). Well, they stop to say hi, and end up with one more in the car!! I won't tell you why, so you can find out for yourself!! But they bond, like most do. They go through a lot. For example, one is gay, one has AIDS, and the other has a baby (only god knows who the father is!) Well, it's sad and funny, and all around a good movie! Barrymore soars, Goldberg is awsome as usual, and Parker is great! oh, the soundtrack is awsome!!
