    More Bette Midler Songs, Please, 2008-07-18
In Atlantic City two eleven-year-old girls meet on the beach. One is very loud and brassy, very show businessy, and the other more sedate and ladylike. The two become instant friends and mug for the camera as they have four pictures in a strip taken by one of those olden days coin-operated machines in an arcade. They tear the strip in two, and each girl keeps two pictures. The movie is bookended by two beaches, one in Atlantic City at the beginning and the other on the Pacific outside of San Francisco at the ending.
br / Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey play the parts of the two women. Bette becomes a big singing star, the other becomes a lawyer.
br / There are some good songs in the movie, but I wish Bette Midler had been given a few more really good numbers to sing to show off her talent. She and Hershey do good acting jobs in this movie. It's a real tear-jerker, heartwrenching, targeting the audience's tear ducts, but the film does have an aura of sincerity and authenticity.
br /It has an interesting and well-constructed plot. The friendship has its ups and downs. Bette is selfish, egotistical, and envious. Her friend is better looking, better behaved, but has marital problems. Bette has marital problems too but because she puts her career first.
br /A worthwhile movie, sentimental, touching, original and entertaining, but it's more than a chick flick.
