Critic Reviews for Beaches

Barbara Hershey is wasted in a boring role.
Anything for a laugh, anything for a tear, and nothing much authentic.
Beaches epitomises the sort of triple-strength, three-hankie work you can expect from American women with three names and gives the lie to those who thought they stopped making women's pic heartstring-tuggers.
Beaches is bloodless, and Garry Marshall's direction, which might have given it style, is completely competent and entirely without personality.
For all of its insistence on the open, even gushing, expression of feeling, Beaches finally seems a little bit sneaky.
The film's oily overdefinition of various class and cultural categories is strident enough to betray a condescending attitude toward the audience.
Audience Reviews for Beaches
I found the friendship was really weird to be honest, more like a old married couple, that turned into whose cock is bigger slagging match. I did enjoy this movie, i loved the songs and i loved the cast. It was a funny sad drama of friendship that was really captivating. I'd say it is one to watch.
Super Reviewer
Such awful, awful melodrama, but I love it! DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY HEEEEROOOO?
Super Reviewer
Heartwarming story about friendship through illness. Great cast.
