    4/5 Bette Midler at her Best
      by B. Formund
    If you like 1940s music and strong women this is the movie for you. Bette Midler plays a vocalist who gets mixed up with a "player" comedian (James Caan) while doing USO tours from WWII through Viet Nam. Sometimes funny, often sad, it's just a great story told through flashbacks of her life when she's an old woman. Great supporting cast as well.

    5/5 Satisfied

    This is a great movie and I was pleased with the condition and time it took to receive the item.

    5/5 For The Boys
      by Marieli Bonilla Serrano (Arecibo, PR, USA)
    Oh!, I Love this movie, Bette Middler Performance is exceptionally beautiful. The theme of war is sad but the happiness they give to these boys is something to think that made a difference. Great theme, great performance, great music.

    5/5 I'll Remember ... YOU!
      by D. Munro (PA, USA)
    That final line of the movie is only part of what makes it so wonderful.

    Bette Midler plays Dixie opposite James Caan's Eddie. When they meet, neither is impressed with the other ... however, both deliver magic when onstage in front of thousands of GIs. With great comic timing and spectacular chemistry, they stumble into a partnership that will take them through three different wars, joys and tragedies. They're more than friends, more than performing partners ... and their unique relationship lasts decades. They see ups and downs, have fights and disagreements, but in the end come together FOR THE BOYS.

    Bette Midler and James Caan are fantastic in this movie. The music is wonderful as well. One of Bette's best!

    For the Boys Summary In Director Mark Rydell's For The Boys, A Uso Singer Captivates Troops And Civilians Alike. She Teams Up With One Of America's Beloved Song-and-dance Men, And The Whole World Becomes Their Stage Through Three Wars And 50 Years Of Music And Memories.

    For the Boys is a lumpy attempt to create an old-fashioned backstage drama, replete with classic showbiz feuds, breakups and make-ups, and the often inexplicable adoration of fictional fans toward characters with dubious star appeal. Released under a cloud of accusations that the story was ripped off from the life of USO stalwart Martha Raye (who had been attempting to get an autobiographical film project set up), For the Boys didn't improve its public relations by being, well, not very good. Bette Midler stars as Dixie Leonard, a singer plucked from obscurity by song-and-dance man Eddie Sparks (James Caan) while on a USO tour during World War II. Their bawdy chemistry before audiences makes them a durable act through many years and wars to come. The problem is that they don't like each other very much, and here's where director Mark Rydell (On Golden Pond) drops the ball: the film never develops sufficient story grounds or the emotional complexity necessary for a high degree of conflict in what is essentially a two-character drama. It doesn't help that the script requires Dixie and Eddie to be on nonspeaking terms for most of the 50 years they know one another, or that the story culminates in a horribly contrived reunion on television, with both actors buried under enough flesh-aging prosthetics and make-up to make them look like Dick Tracy villains. --Tom Keogh
