Beaches (1988)
The film explores the full story behind the 30-year oil and water friendship. That friendship lasted, including their love for the man himself, between free-spirit Bronx Jew CC Bloom and San Francisco WASP Hillary Essex along the way for a long time..

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.

Maudlin & weepy with tender performances by Midler and Hershey.
