DVD Reviews of Beaches (Special Edition)

DVD Review: Great Musical
Summary: 4 Stars

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.

DVD Review: Beaches...the ultimate chic flick and CD
Summary: 5 Stars

I've owned the movie "Beaches" and its subsequent tape and CD... "The Wind Beneath My Wings" is my favorite track from the CD and I always play it aloud and with complete abandonment!! I dedicate it to my very best friend Kathy, who has been there through thick and thin and has always been the wind beneath my wings! She and her hubby have,and always will be, my best friends! To everyone out there... buy this CD. It is well worth the emotional release and well- being that comes from listening to every word that is sung!

DVD Review: Wonderful film
Summary: 5 Stars

A fun movie with lots of comedy and drama. Ending as a true tear jerker.

DVD Review: Beaches - original soundtrack
Summary: 5 Stars

The CD arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged to survive the trip through the US mail. Wonderful price; excellent audio; amazing movie!

DVD Review: An oldie but still a goodie!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have always loved this movie! I bought it so I could now watch it with my own daughter. It made me cry at the end way back when it first came out, and it still made me cry when I watched it again!!! (of course I am one of those sappy people who loves a good tear jerker so if you are too, this is a movie for you!!!!)

Description of Beaches (Special Edition)

As special as the everlasting friendship it celebrates, this Special Edition DVD lets you relive BEACHES and all its touching and funny moments, and includes outstanding never-before-seen bonus materials. When the irrepressible C.C. Bloom (Bette Midler) and the shy and proper Hillary Whitney (Barbara Hershey) first meet under the boardwalk at the beach, all the 11-year-olds have in common is the need for a best friend. Worlds apart in lifestyle and location, their friendship ebbs and flows through a lifetime of highs and lows, career changes, marriages, jealousy, and more. From the boardwalk in Atlantic City to the beach house on the Pacific, BEACHES will remind you of what being a true friend means.

Garry Marshall's 1988 drama about a 30-year friendship between two women, one wealthy (Barbara Hershey) and the other (Bette Midler) seeking her fortune in show business, is well written (based on the novel by Iris Rainer Dart) and nicely textured in its contrast between the characters' separate destinies. When Hershey becomes ill with cancer, the film takes a predictably sentimental course, yet Marshall brings out the best in both actresses and catches some very fine drama. The film is a little too long, perhaps, but overall it is a fine experience. --Tom Keogh
