Steineded How sad is this?

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

mcblee Before I saw a trailer for this, I thought the title a little odd. From the start it was a little odd but after 15 minutes it really gets going! Whoppi Goldberg is phenomenal in her part as a lounge singer wanting to get out of NYC. She joins the unbelieveably amazing Mary-Louise Parker and the effervescent Drew Barrymore! It seems at first they don't have anything in common but as they drive across the US they form an amazing bond. Once they have to stop in Arizona the film slows a little but the acting stays top notch. Add in Anita Gillete, Estelle Parsons and Matthew McConaghy for a delightful mix of just as fantastic acting. Some have compared this to Thelma and Louise but after fleeing a death, the similarity ends. It is a film on its own merits with a fantastic script, great acting and superb directing make this, in my opinion, a film to like and enjoy! If you haven't seen it, get your hands on it. I guarantee you will like it!

g-bodyl Boys on the Side is a powerful but sometimes amusing melodrama about the lives of three woman with different backgrounds coming together to celebrate the lives of women on their earnest road trip. This film may be a bit soapy and seems more like a Lifetime film, but this soapiness enhances the drama. This film may also be a little more on the feminist side, but I didn't mind that much since women are equal to men and should have their stories told as well.Herbert Ross's film is about a wisecracking club singer, an uptight saleswoman, and a young, free spirit all joining crossroads so they can travel cross-county from New York to California.The acting is very good. Whoopi Goldberg actually proves me wrong by showing she can be a good actress. Mary-Louise Parker has some very powerful scenes and should have been nominated an Oscar. Drew Barrymore is also very good and she seems to be my kind of girl.Overall, this is very powerful film about womenhood and some of the problems they face. People call this a chick flick, but is it really? I think guys should watch this film in order to gain a higher appreciation of women. This film is about bonds that will never be forgotten. I'm surprised how such a good movie this drama was. I rate this film 9/10.

Jackson Booth-Millard This film by The Sunshine Boys director Herbert Ross is quite a good drama with very small elements of comedy. Basically lesbian Jane (Whoopi Goldberg) is a night club singer, out of work. AIDS suffering Robin (Mary-Louise Parker) is a quirky real estate agent looking for a ride-share to accompany her to California, this is answered by at first unsure Jane. In Pittsburgh they pick up a third, one-night stand and man loving Holly (Drew Barrymore), escaping a violent and drug-dealing partner. It starts as a road trip, and focuses on reaching understanding, respect, and care for each other. I did trail off in a few places, but when I was paying attention, it was a very pleasant film. Good!

soranno Whoopi Goldberg, Mary-Louise Parker and Drew Barrymore may initially sound like the casting idea if one wanted to make a film with some really strong miscasting. However, the chemistry between the three actresses works a little better than one might expect in this 1994 Warner Brothers release. It all has to do with the sometimes comedic and sometimes dramatic adventures of a lesbian singer (Goldberg) who's currently unemployed, her real estate agent new lover (Parker) and a drug addled friend (Barrymore) who leads them all on the run after she fatally assaults her abusive boyfriend. Through it all, they form an inseparable bond as they go on a cross country road trip to evade the cops. Not a classic by any means but worthwhile viewing.
