For The Boys
Laughter and tears. Tragedy and triumph. They lived it all. For the boys.
The world is at war and Eddie Sparks (James Caan), America's sharpest showman is at the top. That is, until Dixie Leonard (Bette Midler) comes along … she's funny, she's talented and from the moment they meet they have the troops at their feet and the world in their pockets. Together they battle through three generations of war, from the frontline to civvy street, their explosive chemistry on and off stage makes them friends, makes them enemies, makes them heroes. And they do it all… for the boys.
Critic Reviews:
- " For a big, glitzy Hollywood entertainment, Rydell's movie opens a surprising number of wounds, and warns us to suspect the very glamour it revels in. It's no small accomplishment. " – David Ansen
- " A very enaging, ultimately satisfying drama with two knockout performances " – Caffeinated Clint
- " There are moments when you might find yourself moved beyond reasonable expectation. " – Andrew Howe
