neutral · AI labelView 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 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching BOYS ON THE SIDE (1995). Director: Herbert Ross. Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore. Road trip makes lifelong friends of Goldberg, Barrymore & Mary Louise Parker. Girl Power! Am I right? Remember when Matthew McConaughey was super hot? He's on the side as one of the boys. #filmsky 📽

neutral · AI labelView post →I'd also rec Boys on the Side. Another movie with an AIDS-related plotline (I was a teen in the 90s, this will be a recurring theme) but, again, it was a film about connecting and living in the face of something huge and scary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rXX...
neutral · AI labelView post →I love a good rt movie. To Wong Foo. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Nomadland. Boys on the Side. Little Miss Sunshine. Flaws in characters in all of them where we could go picking at them, but some serious escapism.

positive · AI labelView post →It's like opera without the music, you laugh, you cry, you see wild hairstyles, her holiness Dolly Parton and at the end you feel both worn out and energised. 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

neutral · AI labelView post →Catching up on work emails in front of the telly watching road trip tearjerker Boys on the Side (I’m a xennial cliche, ok…?). Wondering whether it was obligatory to have Dreams by the Cranberries in *every* 90’s film?! Like the Wilhelm scream but for indie soundtracks and existential feminist angst.
