Leave your thoughts about For the Boys.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyNever a subtle director, Rydell goes for the obvious and sentimental. Starring Bette Midler and James Caan. his musical chronicle is not so much nostalgic as it is banal, reducing major events in American history to the level of personal feuds. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenFor a big, glitzy Hollywood entertainment, Rydell's movie opens a surprising number of wounds, and warns us to suspect the very glamour it revels in. It's no small accomplishment. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol ClingHokey and sentimental, but Midler's divine. |
| User ReviewRic Sawesome music, great cast. One to rewatch. |
| User ReviewJennifer Cwatch this one and watch how our behavior has went to hell in a hand basket. Bette is great,maybe her best next to The Rose |
| User ReviewSebastiaan MI absolutly love this movie, I watched it ages ago when I was about 15 and loved it ever since, I bought it on DVD about 6 months ago (why I waited so long I dunno???) but their! Bette Midler and James Cann entertain th troops in the war while having a love/hate relationship, you'll laugh, cry, relate and enjoy, go rent or buy it now, it belongs in your DVD collection. |
| User ReviewRoxanna SThis was the sadiest movie but yet funny to |
| User ReviewSigourney RDivine! That is the only word I can say for this film. I am a huge Bette Midler fan, so I guess that made up my mind straight away when I said 5 stars lol. But, no, seriously, this is a tearjerker, drama, comedy and has a romantic streak through it. I reccomend it to anyone! =) |
| User ReviewWayne WBette Midler is fantastic in this movie managing to create variety of emotions from laughter to tears. the movie manages to mix some action with musical elements to keep the movie entertaining and movie the story along. |
| User ReviewTracy FCan't believe this movie is over twenty years old. I loved it then and love it now. And , yes, I still cry at it. |
