Advantages: great performances

Disadvantages: you will cry so dont watch it with someone you want to impress

im 18 and was first introduced to this film when i was 12 and i am still addicted to it, although im a sucker for sobbers. It is described as 'the friendship you'll always remember... in the film you'll never forget'. This definately sums up the film and is surely one to watch. The targetted audience is towards women aged between 14-45 as i found from a review of the film a couple of years ago, although i think that its targetted at all women all ages.
The breath-taking performances by Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey are astonishing, they are really touching and full of emotion, and porbably the best i've seen in them both.
The two met on a beach as children as CC Bloom and Hillart Whitney and have clashing personalities but instantly connect. They keep in touch and go through so much together, just as best frinds do. Their friendship shines with humour and warmth and is the most enjoyable film i have yet seen. Their friendship becomes stronger when a heart breaking issue arises, this is the weeping bit, actually its more of a dramatic state of soaking tissues and heart wrenching events.
definately one to watch for a girls night in with a bottle of wine and chocs.
