unlabelledView post →My ★★★ review of Boys on the Side boxd.it/aa9vBv In the mood for a road trip, female bonding, crime caper, lesbian, AIDS, courtroom comedic weeper? Slickly produced, but contrived & emotionally manipulative. But Parker, Goldberg & Barrymore are at height of movie star allure! #filmsky 📽

I watch this film as a matinee alongside "Boys on the Side", "9 to 5" and "Gorilla's in the Mist" Hope you enjoy the film
