Vile trash.

Midler's singing is the only pleasant part of the film. The rest of it you've seen and heard before -- and better.

Horrible... just horrible.

The film's oily overdefinition of various class and cultural categories is strident enough to betray a condescending attitude toward the audience.

I enjoyed the first forty-five minutes of Beaches. Beyond that, I kept looking at my watch wondering when it was ever going to end.

Chick-flick extreme, heavy on the syrup.

Maudlin & weepy with tender performances by Midler and Hershey.

Garry Marhsall's unbearabaly schmaltzy and stereotyical medlodrama contrasts a brassy Jewish singer with an elegant WASPy socialite that even actresses like Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey cannot elevate or rescue.
