Leave your thoughts about Beaches.
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThe film's oily overdefinition of various class and cultural categories (ranging from “poor” and “well-to-do” to “avant-garde” and “vulgar”) is strident enough to betray a condescending attitude toward the audience. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyGarry 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. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchMartha BakerI heard some sniffling among some audience members, but the story goes for one situation that is guaranteed to produce sympathy. Aside from that, we never accept Midler in her relationship with John Heard. Only her occasional singing redeems an otherwise emotional roller coaster that travels in slow motion. Barbara Hershey is wasted in a boring role. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelBarbara Hershey is wasted in a boring role. |
| United Press InternationalCathy BurkeMidler's singing is the only pleasant part of the film. The rest of it you've seen and heard before -- and better. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarAnything for a laugh, anything for a tear, and nothing much authentic. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyWhatever its failings, Beaches speaks to women. It makes girlfriends think of calling girlfriends they haven't seen in 10, 20, 30 years. You can live without love, but "you've got to have friends," as Midler sings. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittBette Midler and Barbara Hershey give lively performances, but the screenplay is dreary. |
| Radio TimesSue HealThis drama is at its best when Midler gives free rein to her character rather than when it slips into schmaltz. |
| Tulsa WorldDennis KingBeaches, despite its flaws, delivers an appealing message on the enduring quality of friendship. |
