Beaches | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

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.

Barbara Hershey is wasted in a boring role.

Beaches, despite its flaws, delivers an appealing message on the enduring quality of friendship.

Anything for a laugh, anything for a tear, and nothing much authentic.

As a film, Beaches is a contradictory mishmash of moods and intentions. However, the movie's weaknesses are the record's strengths.
