Oscar 4U,
By A Customer
This review is from: For the Boys (Audio CD)
The movie failed her because of the writers, but Midler prevailed and gave us some great moments. She should have won the Oscar that year. What other woman could have pulled off a showy musical that spanned decades? Only Midler.This CD illustrates her talents beyond the film. I believe Miss Midler has a gift for acting, singing, AND finding great songs that move people.

Bette Midler singing songs from the 1940s and 1950s,
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME)
This review is from: For the Boys (Audio CD)
Given her affinity for 1940's boogie woogie in the style of the Andrews Sisters, the idea of putting Bette Midler in a film that at least starts off during World War II seems like a natural. Indeed, you will find some nice period pieces by Midler, usually with Johnny Mercer's name on the composition, such as "Come Rain or Come Shine." But I have to admit to a slight sense of disappointment that the producers of this film seemed to go out of their way not to do anything too close to the songs that made the Divine Miss M famous in the first place. Ironically, the best track on the album is her wonderful cover of the Beatle's "In My Life," which deservedly made its way onto Midler's greatest hits collection. This is a solid Midler album, the sort that comes in at 4.5 and then you round up or down according to your tastes.

Bette is sooo Divine as usual,
By Ricky (Kernersville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For the Boys (Audio CD)
I received this soundtrack while working in a video store. Was one of those promotional things that they do to build the hype around a new release. I've always adored Bette Midler so I had no doubt that I would listen to the soundtrack but concerned that it wouldn't be that good because of the fact they were giving out the copies, how good could it be. All I can say is WOW. The music will have you singing and dancing in no time. It will have you feeling good and you will find yourself wanting to dance with the upbeat swing of "Stuff like that there" to a teary eyed "In my life". If you've seen the movie, you gotta have the sound track. I've had to buy another copy of it because I wore the origional out.
