3.5/4  Grab a box of tissues
Extremely moving. I saw this in the theater when it came out and it's the only film I've ever seen where a substantial part of the audience was bawling at the end. Although there are funny parts, it's really a drama. Midler is great as ... (read full)

4/4  Beaches Quick Review
This is one of the best movies I have seen. I love Bette Midler. It's a great show to watch with your best friend.

2.5/4  Beaches Quick Review
The tide of emotion will overwhelm even the stoutest of hearts. A little too maudlin and sentimental for my tastes it is still a decent movie with plenty of heart.

3/4  Beaches Quick Review
This is a great chick flick, but don't watch it if you are not in the mood to cry, cry, cry.

4/4  Beaches Quick Review
Beaches is arguably the best chick flick ever made. While it is a bit cheesy at times, it is at heart a friendship story that everyone, including the occasional guy, can relate to. Highly recommended, but make sure you have some Kleenex.

5/5 Wonderful, Beautiful, Amazing, Captivating, Extraordinary Brilliant Movie
  by Kiyana T. Jackson
This is my all time favorite movie of all time! The first time I saw this movie I was eleven years old and still at the age of 29 I love it the same. I can laugh, cry, think, smile, frown at certain scenes throughout this movie. If you have not yet seen this movie, what are you waiting for? This is definitely a must-see and I highly recommend anyone that loves a good drama, tear-jerker movie to see this one but even with the tears, there is bliss that overcomes it. I love Beaches, and so will you!!!

5/5 One Of My All Time Favorites

This is one movie that does not age in time. A life long journey with a friend is something most everyone can relate to. Add Bette Midler with her funny antics and a surprising seriousness that is not only surprising but truly emotional. I loved this movie

5/5 Peaceful and relaxing movie
  by Danna F. Henderson (USA)
No doubt about it, Bette Midler is the next best singer to Cher. I've listened to this CD multiple times and it just gets better everytime I hear it. When my grandfather passed away last year, I used "Wind Beneath my Wings" as one of the songs and cried becasue the song is so passionate. I wish Bette would do some more music like she did on this soundtrack. She's a heck of a singer and I've got a few more of her CD's, but this one takes the cake! I even have two ringback tones from this soundtrack on my phone.

5/5 Best Friends

"Beaches" is a movie women will especially like who understand how special that "best friend" is.

4/5 Great Musical
  by L. S. Miller (USA)
I've had this on video tape since it first came out and now I had to get the DVD because of the music. It sounds so much better than the video tape.
