Beaches Coming To DVD May 9
*I received a copy of Beaches on DVD to facilitate this review, however all opinions are 100% my own.
Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s Beaches was a staple but the “old” version instead of the new one. So when I went to watch the “new” and improved version I was skeptical. Like really skeptical that I would probably hate it because it was a re-make and it had the same feel good feelings that I did so many years ago. It was tough to watch in some parts because you almost expect it to go badly and in some places it does. They live their “separate” but yet so intertwined lives and are both happy but just like any true friends they overcome most of their “problems” along the way. Although your heart is breaking you know that what you are doing is right for the situation that you are in at the time. I would encourage you to pick up your copy on May 9th from Lionsgate and relive the powerful story of lifelong friendship in an all-new way. But remember that all things change!
Tony Award® winner Idina Menzel and NAACP Image Award Winner Nia Long star as two very different women who share an unexpected friendship that, even with its ups and downs, lasts for decades.
