Leave your thoughts about Boys on the Side.
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannThe entire film feels like the result of a market study. |
| VarietyBrian LowryYet even with those slightly different chords, Ross manages to pluck the right heartstrings, in the process delivering a grade-A tear-jerker. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie is not a collection of parts from other films. It's an original, and what it does best is show how strangers can become friends, and friends can become like family. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThere are some poignant moments that work, and an awful lot of attempts that fail. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIts one flaw occurs when the film concocts a fake conflict between the women in an attempt to add some drama. The plot device doesn't do great damage, but it is enough to keep the film from being a hands-down four-star movie. |
| Los Angeles TimesPeter RainerIt's so shamelessly obliging that just about every audience of whatever stripe will find something to like in it at least some of the time. It's a confoundingly enjoyable movie because, by all rights, it should be terrible. |
| Austin ChronicleSteve DavisBoys on the Side is surprisingly effective, although its narrative often advances awkwardly. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonRoos and Ross (and I promise never to put those names together again) are so busy jerking the audience from wacky to teary, and back again, they seem blithely unaware of the howling melodrama of it all. |
| EmpireJulian KetchumThere are no real surprises, and it's arguable whether three such disparate souls as these would, in reality, bond so well. But the acting is flawless, the principals fleshing out their characters far beyond their hastily sketched stereotypes. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellWhat matters more is that Ms. Goldberg, along with her co-stars Mary-Louise Parker and Drew Barrymore, is so sharp, funny and wholehearted that this film creates an unexpected groundswell of real emotion. |
