I loved this film as a child
And I still love it as an early 20-something. I originally had it taped off the TV (how sad) and it's now a brilliant addition to my collection. I could watch this film over and over and not get tired of it.

Now & Then also has a brilliant cast. Christina Ricci (growing out of her Wednesday Addams character, and playing a character who tapes her breasts down - she later in life had them reduced), Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffman, Demi Moore, Melanie Griffith, Rita Wilson, Rosie O'Donnell, Devon Sawa, Janeane Garofalo, Hank Azaria and Bonnie Hunt amongst others. Also look out for a young Rumer Willis as one of the main character's sisters, and an early appearance by Brendan Fraser.

Now & Then is the sweetest story is about four girls growing up - and growing apart. They make a pact and twenty years later, come back to support one of their old friends giving birth. (Considering this is the same girl who got told by her mother what sex is: "All women have a garden, and a garden needs a big hose to water it... or a small hose... as long as it works." It's a wonder she became pregnant in the first place!)

I was quite disappointed when I was young, as I originally muddled up which older actress was actually the younger actress in the film. For instance I thought Christina Ricci's character grew up to be Demi Moore. Noooo. Christina's character grows up to be Rosie O'Donnell. The rest of them I managed to piece together, but God knows how I ended up thinking that.

This is a lovely film, and will forever remain in my collection. It's perfect for snuggling up on the couch with some chocolate (or rice pudding!) while it's dark outside.

Mom Approved
Four childhood friends come together when one of them is having a baby. They had all promised to get together whenever one of them was in need. Even though, the years have passed, and they've gone about their ways with their careers and lives, they come together and reminisce about the childhood days, and growing up. A very touching, nice movie about childhood, growing up and everlasting friendships.

Excellent movie for teen-age girls. The movie is good for a sleepover party or just a girls pizza night. In kind with "The Sand Lot" but for girls.


Awesome Movie
My daughter and I watched this movie for the first time when she was about 13 years old. She is almost 18 now and we still watch it whenever it's on. I bought the movie for her so we could enjoy it whenever we wanted. She opened it and right 'Now and Then' we watched it together for the umpteenth time, enjoying it just as much as we did the first time we watched it together. This is a classic, bringing the past and the present together and bringing a mother and daughter together time and time again.
