Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Even when Best Friends isn't working uproariously as a comedy, there's an element of original, offbeat humor that keeps it promising.
Fresh: A very engaging film.
Rotten: The script plods through autobiographical self-indulgence with some warmth but too few laughs.
Customer Reviews
Burt Reynolds the Wild Jungle Beast!
Burt Reynolds arose from his den one day and called for his mate and hunting rifle. He told her that he was going to wander on a pilgrimage to each of the four continents and steal the movie secrets from the people there. After three years and numerous gunshot wounds he returned a visibly changed man. The only thing he held within his cold vice-like grip was this movie. So watch and enjoy this masterpiece, knowing that people have died in its production.
Best Friends--Classic 80's Romantic Comedy
Goldie Hawn and Burt Reynolds are a perfect comedy & romantic team in this film. The title song "How Do You Keep The Music Playing" sung by James Ingram and Patti Austin adds to the delight!
Best Friends, great movie!
Reynolds and Hawn are magical in this movie.
It isn't perfect, and gas some flaws and inconstancies.
But, don't we all.
This is a great feel good movie.
It never won the acclaim it deserved.
Nevertheless, this movie is fun, sweet, light, airy, and entertaining.
The supporting cast lives up to expectations.
If you want to smoke, laugh, chortle, and cry; buy thus movie!
It is a classic.
If any film ever deserved five stars, this one does!
