Amazon.co.uk Review
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. Beaches is a little too long, perhaps, but overall it is a fine experience. --Tom Keogh

this is a true,one of that rare classics!!!
Cheesy for some.Others even narrowed this film that only women of all ages
love this and the "so-called" film critics said that this film is too sappy,weak,yada yak yak.
I am the most cynical ever when it comes to films but this is definitely one of the best ever film and for me, it belong in its own place as the film really has this flashbacks....ahhh,who cares? Those who haven't watch
this yet...get this fast!!! I am a boy when I saw this and now I'm a man but I still love this film. *sigh* Don't you wish you had a friendship as
close and as powerful as this?

Excellent
Probably the best chick flick of all time, OK, a bit dated now, but still great. Why don't they make films like this anymore?! No special effects, just brilliant script, brilliant direction and brilliant acting!

Fantastic girly film!
Boys don't get this film, it's definitely a chick flick! Most girls can relate to this best friend relationship portrayed in the film, that's why it is so watchable.
This is a great film to watch with a bunch of your friends ... however be prepared to cry, I've watched this film a million times and still get weepy at the end.
A definite must have for your DVD collection!
