- O’DONNELL/GRIFFITH/MOORE/WILSO
Four girls vow to be friends forever & come together again after 20 years to lend support and help to each other.This obligatory girls’ version of Stand by Me begins with actors Melanie Griffith, Rita Wilson, Demi Moore, and Rosie O’Donnell doing a lousy job of playing adult versions of the film’s youthful protagonists. The idea is that this quartet of characters is having a reunion, which serves as a preface to the main story about school chums who make a pact to stay close and supportive through thick and thin. The trouble is that Griffith, Moore, Wilson, and O’Donnell look like they’ve rehearsed their scenes for no more than a few minutes, and after boring us silly there’s little reason to get excited about anything else. Still, it’s nice to have a supporting cast that includes Janeane Garofalo and Bonnie Hunt, while among the girls are three young actresses who have been burning up the road in recent years: Christina Ricci (The Opposite of Sex), Thora Birch (A Clear and Present Dan

I just love NOW AND THEN. It’s about four best friends who recall their lives growing up as kids one summer. The film starts out when they are adults, going back to their home, and then it goes into the 60s when they were kids…and then at the end, back to their adulthood. The film is all about what they go through that one summer: hilarious moments, depressing moments, scary moments, and so on. They remember trying to bring back a 12-year-old boy who died and they remember trying to find out how he died. They remember stuff about their families, and they even remember the pranks they pulled on each other and pranks they pulled on a group of neighborhood boys, who also played pranks on them!NOW AND THEN stars Rosie O’Donnell and Christina Ricci as Roberta, Demi Moore and Gaby Hoffmann as Samantha, Thora Birch and Melanie Griffith as Teeny, and Rita Wilson and Ashleigh Aston Moore as Chrissy. Devon Sawa, Bonnie Hunt, and Brendan Fraser also star in this delightful comedy classic. If you love coming of age films, then I definitely suggest this to your collection. NOW AND THEN is a wonderful film with excellent acting and a terrific screenplay. Go and buy it!

This movie is just brilliant! It’s amazing! It’s about four girls who meet up twenty years later and it’s just brilliant! Most of it is set in the summer of 1970, and it’s great fun to watch. My favourite character was Samantha, played by Gaby Hoffman at 12 and Demi Moore at 32. I liked the other three as well: Teeny (Thora Birch, Melanie Griffith), Chrissy (Ashleigh Aston Moore, Rita Wilson) and Roberta (Christina Ricci, Rosie O’ Donnell). All the actors were great and it’s a star-studded cast featuring Janeane Garafolo and Brendan Frasier in cameos. There’s only one actress making her debut, Ashleigh Aston Moore, and she gives a stunning performance as 12-year-old Chrissy. You will do anything to get your hands on this video!!!
