To say that this film is a bit of a tear-jerker is an understatement. It's a tale of life long friendship, betrayal, jealousy, life and loss and it's impossible but to be caught up in the lives of two friends CC i.e Cecilia ( played by Bette Midler as the adult CC and Mayim Bialik as the young CC ) and Hilary ( played by Barbara Hersey as the ...  Read the complete review

Does anyone else have a film which they watched when they were very young which stuck with them throughout adulthood. Well mine is this film Beaches, I think I was way too young to watch the film at the time, but I fell in love with it, it had me in tears and I loved every thing about it and still to this day, maybe 10 years later, I still adore ...  Read the complete review

True friendship never ends and this is a film that ...  Read the complete review

This film is my favorite, it is about two girls who met on a beach when they were young, they went through good times and bad times, through broken marriages and careers but they still had each other.
It has Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey in it and it's well worth watching.
It gets very sad towards the end so get your tissue out and get comfy.

WOW what a film Bette Midler truly excels as the egotistical fame driven wannabe singer an actress who meets her match in Barbra Hershey a snobby lawyer who has had everything set out for her and really should follow that route. I love Bette anyway but this film shows her at her best we see her comical, sincere and you also get the ...  Read the complete review

After having a bad day and feeling sorry for myself there is nothing I like more than a good cry. So I reached for my video shelf and starring me right in the eye is the film "Beaches"!

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 ...  Read the complete review

This film is great. It is all about the friendship of two female best friends, who've known each other since they were young but have now broken off. They meet again, and go away from each other again many times, and the film has many twists and turns and has a very, very sad ending which you will be in tears at! This film is regularly ...  Read the complete review

I first saw beaches when it came out on video and i think i have worn by tape out watching it since. It is a real weepy and if i need to have a good cry I always watch this film. It moves me every time at exactly the same place and although i know whats coming and when it always gets me. It also a film that really makes you think ...  Read the complete review

I've watched Beaches several times now, and although it has a really sad ending, it actually makes me feel good. It stars Bette Midler as CC, who starts off as a precocious child performer, from (I think) Brooklyn, and Barbara Hershey as the middle class girl she meets on the beach, and forms a lifelong friendship with. The film follows ...  Read the complete review

This is an all time favourite of mine! Maybe not one that every one will enjoy, certainly my boyfriend turns his nose up at it....But I think thats just because it is just too sad! It is such a weepy, but sometimes its nice to have a good old cry and this is definately the film to put on. The story is about 2 friends who are both ...  Read the complete review

I love this film. It's a real weepy, about two best friends who met on the beach as kids, became penpals, lost touch, got back in touch and live happily ever after (or do they...?). Bette Midler plays CC, an aspiring actress/dancer, who's desperate to get her big break, and her friend is a wealthy professional. They could be from ...  Read the complete review
