Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Garry Marshall's 1988 drama about a 30-year friendship between two women, one wealthy (Barbara Hershey) and the other (Bette Midler) seeking her fortune in show business, is well written (based on the novel by Iris Rainer Dart) and nicely textured in its contrast between the characters' separate destinies. When Hershey becomes ill with cancer, the film takes a predictably sentimental course, yet Marshall brings out the best in both actresses and catches some very fine drama. Beaches is a little too long, perhaps, but overall it is a fine experience. --Tom Keogh

I love this movie,

This review is from: Beaches (Widescreen) (DVD)
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.

One of my favorite movies,

This review is from: Beaches (Widescreen) (DVD)
I first saw this movie when I was about 11, and I loved it. I am now 25, and this is still one of my favorite movies. I didn't like the book much, but I'll never get tired of this movie.
