I really thought I would hate it but I wound up loving it. The story is so sweet and heart wrenching.

It’s not good. It wasn’t good in ‘95. You see Whoopi and Drew and think it’s going to be fun, but it’s a cringe women’s picture w/AIDS. Sad.

Forgettable. I didn’t think the relationship between Jane and Robin was all that special. Lots of potential, but boring execution.

Audrey Stafford

It’s so well written. The soundtrack is really good too. Funny but has some serious moments too. Might make you cry!!

It's fine but it offers nothing to hold on to.

It's not a waste of time seeing the rest of this cast on screen with a touchy plot;Although its boring, slow paced,not like their other work

3 women coming together under diverse circumstances.

Drew & Matthew make it worth watching. Otherwise it’s just depressing

Laura Littlefield

A movie about a built family. Amazing chemistry amongst the leads.

Probably one of the slowest films to my memory. A stellar female cast weaves through individual struggles with a gentle ferocity.
