Critics Consensus: Not all great soundtracks make good movies, and Beaches lacks the wind beneath its wings.

Reviews

Video Review

Jeffrey Lyons

Once in a while it's okay to enjoy a movie for its own sake -- to let it work you over emotionally, to make you cry when you know you're supposed to cry and laugh when you know a laugh is coming. Beaches is such a movie.

The movie is a must-see for those who love Midler. It is a project that not only allows her to be herself, it demands it.

I prefer Midler in these sorts of roles.

Beaches celebrates our friendships. And it's not afraid to be schmaltzy.

You've seen this four million times before but not with Midler wisecracking and singing and shaking her way through a whole movie -- or with Hershey as a pulp vision of monied beauty.
