There's something strangely endearing about Boys on the Side. Perhaps it's the basic humanity woven into the movie's story, or the boundless optimism at its very heart.

RTWashington PostMar 15, 2023

An engagingly acted, likable, fried green Thelma & Louise.

Eleanor Ringel Cater

RTAtlanta Journal-ConstitutionMar 15, 2023

Boys on the Side isn't a profound film or even, given the TV-movie nature of its "predicaments," an especially risky one. But it's solidly endearing in terms of emotion, humor and character.

...an amiable endeavor that benefits substantially from the top-tier efforts of its three stars...
