Not That Good
Me and my mom rented this movie from our public library looking for a lood chick flick. We got one but it wasn't good at all.
It follows two girls who meet one the beach one day and they become friends for life. It skips about ten years when there in there early twentys and they are still friends. A little strange but still the same they are still friends. They meet in New York where Midler is a struggling actress. Midler invites the other one to life with her, which she does. It goes on trough love, sadness, death and many things that would make a good movie, but in here it was just too much.
It is over two ours and gets very boring. I found a lot of scenes twored the end that just drag the movie on. It gets VERY boring VERY fast. Midler caries the story on her shoulders and she just plays it her usual happy-go-lucky character she always plays. If you want a good chick flick see it but if you want a RELLY good movie, don't. It isn't that good.
Heart-warming, delightful, and down-to-earth
"Beaches" is a film about two best friends from two very different worlds. Barbara Hershey plays the role of a well-to-do young woman, who on summer vacation at her father's beach house, as a child (played by a child actress), befriends another little girl played by the girl from "Blossom," who is from Brooklyn and is from the "wrong side of the tracks," but has dreams of making it big someday in show business as a singer.
Fast forward, they grow up, become succesful in their own right, but take very different paths--only to be reunited again.
Sadly, one of the characters develops cancer and passes away leaving her best friend to raise her daughter as her own.
I highly recommend this film to anyone, who enjoys a heart-felt drama, but be prepared to have the kleenex box beside you because you will definitely shed some tears, at least, I did.
The good thing is that it's only a movie and not based on a true story, which is how I coped with it, but still cried.
Buy it or rent it, but either way, make sure and view this delightful, heart-warming film because you'll be glad that you did--I know that I am.
Incidentally, "Did you ever know that you're my hero" is the main song played by the unforgetably-talented Bette Midler.
*(Not recommended for younger chldren due to adult themes such as death.)*
