Movie Reviews of Just Between Friends
Movie Review: "A Movie Soap Opera At Its Best!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Multiple Emmy winner and Academy Award nominee Mary Tyler Moore stars in this film set in Los Angeles, and portrays a woman married to a man with two teenagers. Holly, the Moore character, is a suburban houswife, whose life revolves around her family. One night she meets Sandy, played beautifully by Christine Lahti, at an aerobics class, and the two become instantaneous best friends. Holly is shy and withdrawn, where Sandy is outgoing and speaks her mind. The story reaches its dramatic heigth when Holly's husband dies in a car crash, and while cleaning out her husband's office, discovers Sandy was having an affair with him.
A superbly written and well-acted movie, I was surprised the film was not a bigger hit both with the audience and Oscar voters: this film has Academy Award written all over it.
If you want to watch an intelligent drama with excellent acting and direction, "Just Between Friends" is it.
The DVD is pretty much empty as far as features are concerned, but it comes in a dual-layer disc and is in both standard and widescreen format, and the theatrical trailer is included.
"The Toronto Sun" says, this film is "the most touching human comedy to stir the heart since "Terms of Endearment"".

But it takes an unlikely friendship with Sandy (Lahti), a wisecracking, chain-smoking career woman, to show her that life is never what it seems to be. But in the face of tragedy, when she needs Sandy the most, Holly discovers a dark secret that not only tiesthe two friends together but will also shake their friendship to its foundation! *Moore: Actress, Ordinary People (1980); Lahti: Supporting Actress, Swing Shift (1984)Similar DVD Movies
