Horror fan 4 A great movie. The younger cast steals the movie. Absolutely will be watching again. Tim Treakle Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Sonic H It was meh, the grown up versions of the main cast didn't fit their characters. The "then" part of the movie was the best, besides one scene, I'm not normally a puritan when it comes to nudity, but child nudity and comments about said child's body is kinda where I draw the line if it isn't used for historical or educational purposes. The child nudity and weird comments about said boy's privates was a weird and icky choice by the director and writers to show and have in the script, could've been easily avoided with clever camera angles or just given them something like at least underwear to wear, idk how that part even was legal to film given this was made in the US. All in all, the film was meh, the "now" part of the movie and weird decisions made by the director drag this movie down and disrupt my enjoyment of the movie quite severely Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Michael S A rewatch might be needed but I still thought that this was a pretty solid coming of age movie. I really adored the 70s aesthetic to it and the music choices fit perfectly. The young leading actresses are all fantastic too. The thing that I don't really like about it is definitely the "Now" scenes, they just drag this movie out. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Haylee E It should be a crime that this movie only has 33%. It is a beautiful movie! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Ashley O Ok so, this is top 5 one of my favorite movies. However, I still need to give it a fair review, so it does not have 5 stars. Here is why: the movie could have actually been better without the adult cast of the girls grown up. They were all weird casting choices for the portrayal of the younger counterpart. For example, they have Melanie Griffith playing a flighty dumb blonde but Thora Burch her childhood counter part was not like that. Rosie O'Donnell a very weird choice for an adult Christina Ricci and while Rita Wilson got the personality part right for the adult version of Chrissy, the physical match was off. Demi Moore was the only somewhat believable casting choice. Powerful performances by Ricci and Hoffmann, Thora Birch was still growing as far as acting talent in 1994 but showed potential; if they were set on Melanie Griffith as the adult counterpart then they should've gone with someone else. I think they could have just had it be a visit to the past with an adult narrator and the film actually been better. This is a total chick flick and I don't see any man "getting" this film or enjoying it. But anyone who has ever been a 12 year old girl will love it no matter her age now! A great sleepover film with a heart warming story and life lessons in there some you won't understand until you're an adult. Part of what doesn't make the film work is that we don't see enough of these character's adult lives so the ending message its hard to connect with. Still one of my all time favorite films despite its flaws. Will probably still watch this every summer until I die!
