My bet is that you will laugh, cry and cheer. I thought this was cute and not bad at all. Like other great dramadies, it is filled with charm, innocence and drama and romance. I thought it was a nice mix. The casting is great and Demi Moore gives a performance of a lifetime. It is an emotionally uplifting movie that will raise your morale. Unfairly dismissed by some as formulaic, this kind of character piece needs a tight focus so all of the nuances of the characters shine through. I found it entertaining and it left me with a warm feeling. I thought that there was really good chemistry between the main characters.
... View MoreI love this movie!!! It is definitely the perfect girl summer movie. The plot is simple and at the same the adventure they have is so much fun. The characters are so easy to relate to, no matter what decade you belong to, you know you would want to hang with your friends like this. I remember the second I finished the movie me and my cousin grabbed our bikes and began our own summer adventure. To this year we still love to go out on our bikes in the summer. Its really great for kids of today to watch this, it gets them inspired to go out and have fun outdoors instead of having their butts glued to the TV or computer. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to put a smile on their face.

... View MoreFour long time friends (Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, Melaine Griffen and Rita Wilson) are reunited, since they didn't seen each other in years. Once these friends decide to talk about their past. They talk about the best summer they ever had as Kids (Gaby Hoffman, Christina Ricci, Thora Birch and Ashleigh Aston Moore) and the difficulties they had growning up.Directed by Leslie Linka Glatter made an familiar, coming of age dramatic comedy. Which some might say this is the female version of "Stand by Me" but towed down version of it. Good performances highlights this, especially from the young cast. There's also a fine 1970's soundtrack adds to the enjoyment of the movie.DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) and an lively Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD's only features are the original theatrical trailer and cast & crew information. This film was an modest hit at the box office. The movie is entertaining, especially for the pre-teen girls. Adults will likely relish this picture as well. Demi Moore is also one of the producers of this film. Brandan Fraser appears unbilled. (*** 1/2 out of *****).
