The Lifetime Beaches is a reduction of the original - smaller emotions, smaller performances, fewer songs, shorter running time (about 87 minutes versus 123) - and while that could have been an improvement, it's not.

You may be moved by Menzel's characteristically volcanic rendition of "Wind Beneath My Wings." More likely, you'll just cry from boredom.

Menzel's singing... does provide compensation for wading through the melodrama, although frankly, DVR-ing and zapping to those parts would be the more time-effective option.

A freeze-dried remake that'll leave you wistful for the fresh taste of the original.

Menzel has a spectacular voice. But ... she's not Bette Midler. And Beaches without Midler is just not the same thing. It's just not as good.

Lifetime's re-do of Beaches provides a suitably weepy, sometimes sappy, overall entertaining escape.

A hollow knockoff of Garry Marshall’s campy, tear-jerking original, weighed down by soulless song remakes. All it does is make you want to revisit the original for the hundredth time.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Very disappointed. While I love both actresses the movie felt very play like.. I am a huge fan of the original Beaches movie (1988) and this didn't give you the feel of a lifelong relationship like the original did.

Beaches is a charming remake of the classic film that starred Bette Midler and in her place Idina Menzel played a better version of C. C. Bloom! I love the new songs and the classic ones are just perfect!

The remake of the movie "Beaches" starring Nia Long and Idina Menzel was a charming film, although it lacked in major character development. The acting by Nia and Idina was decent, but the storyline felt a bit off at times, especially with lines like, "I'm rich. I could buy a heart." The daughter, Tori, portrayed by a young actress with limited skills, failed to evoke any real emotion when her mother passed away. It felt like she was just a selfish character throughout the movie. The mother-daughter relationship lacked depth and bonding, making it hard to connect with the characters on an emotional level. The saving grace of the film was the great music and fantastic singing, but overall, it fell short as a bland remake that didn't live up to the potential of the original.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Bland, that is the best I can describe this movie. None of the characters had chemistry at all. Starting with the young versions of the main characters. It didn’t have emotion transmitted throughout the dialogues. Great actresses like Nia Long, could not make it happen. A true shame.
