Now and Then: a must see for best friends
Now and Then is a movie all women
must see. I ’ll try to do this movie justice
in my review. But, take it from me,
words can not explain just how good it
is.
Now and Then, directed by Susan
Todd and Demi Moore, took place
during the 1960’s. The movie opens up
with the four girls; Roberta (by Rosie
O’Donnell), Teenie (Melanie Griffith),
Sam (Demi Moore), and Crissy (Rita
Wilson) in adulthood. They are ail re
united by a pact made when they were
12, which said that when they needed
each other they would all come to
gether again.
Movie Review
By Melissa Cloer
They then reminisce back to their
childhood during the summer when
they all were 12 years old. Their goals
that summer consisted of getting
enough money for a tree house, get
ting revenge on neighborhood boys,
and finding out how Dear Johnny died.
When trying to reach their goals the
group went through trials and tribula
tions, but each girl also had her own
goal to reach that summer. Sam wanted
to overcome her father leaving and
wanting a divorce, Crissy wanted to

overcome hernaivity, Roberta wanted
to get over her mothers death, and
Teenie was struggling to find herself
and her destiny.
Through the summer they all
wanted to become more independent
from their families, but learned that
they had become dependent on each
other. The girls also learned that sum
mer that they can not change the bad
that has already happened, but to go
on with life and make the best of
everything.
This movie shows the true mean
ing of friendship, not to always judge
people so quickly, that there is more to
one than how he looks, and that your
parents are not always right.
Now and Then is definitely one for
a girl’s night out. It will make you
laugh, cry, and glad to be a female
because it shows the real bond be
tween women - one that men do not
have. This movie is playing at Imperial
Cinemas and at Six Forks, so the next
time you do not have anything to do
grab your best friend and go see this
movie. You will be glad you did!
