TV Review: ‘Beaches’ Starring Nia Long & Idina Menzel

The 1988 original has all the elements of a classic—with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey starring as CC and Hillary, respectively, the late Garry Marshall in the director’s chair, and featuring some truly adept child acting from Mayim Bialik in her breakout role (who was a ringer for Midler, bursting with charisma) and Grace Johnston as Hillary’s daughter Victoria, not to mention of course the immortal theme song “Wind Beneath My Wings”—it seemed impossible to improve on the original, no matter how campy it was.
