Beaches (1988)
It is these events that embody more details about the friendship of oil and water that lasted 30 years. The film explores both sides including their love for the same man, between both free-spirit Bronx Jew CC Bloom and San Francisco WASP Hillary Essex.

Chick-flick extreme, heavy on the syrup.

I enjoyed the first forty-five minutes of Beaches. Beyond that, I kept looking at my watch wondering when it was ever going to end.

Garry Marhsall's unbearabaly schmaltzy and stereotyical medlodrama contrasts a brassy Jewish singer with an elegant WASPy socialite that even actresses like Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey cannot elevate or rescue.

there are few horrors as singularly terrifying as this movie

Maudlin & weepy with tender performances by Midler and Hershey.

Midler's singing is the only pleasant part of the film. The rest of it you've seen and heard before -- and better.

...it seems obvious that certain audiences will get a whole lot more out of it than others.

The film's oily overdefinition of various class and cultural categories is strident enough to betray a condescending attitude toward the audience.
