Average Rating: 
Rating: - Mary Tyler Moore is Superb
Boy, this movie takes place in the 80's and at first you must get over how dated it is. The clothes are hilarious but not as much as the big hairstyles. Hilarious. But move beyond the opening drawn out areobics class and a very entertaining weepy drama will draw you in.
Mary Tyler Moore, a housewife meets Christine Lahti, a newsreporter in an aerobics class and they form an instant bond both not having many female friends. Ms. Moore is happily married and lo and behold it ends up ... Read More
Rating:  - Sweet Movie!!
I loved this movie! I'm only 12, but I thought it was so sweet! Ms. Moore went from Laura Petrie/Mary Richards image, to Beth Jarret, then back to Laura. I thought it was so mean of the husband to cheat on such a sweet, loyal, and devoted lady. The only thing about this movie was that Holly (Mary Tyler Moore) looked so much older than her husband in the movie!!! Was she supposed to be younger than she actually was? Mary Tyler Moore is my favorite actress, so maybe that is why I like this movie, ... Read More
Rating:  - Oddly Entertaining
Imagine an Eighties update on a Forties "women's picture". . . but with Laura Petrie or Mary Richards as the long-suffering heroine. . .and Sam (Ted Danson) Malone as the cheating spouse!
Mary Tyler Moore is spunkily stalwart as the wronged wife but wise-cracking Christine Lahti steals the picture as the other woman. (Guess Valerie Harper was busy.) Plays like a jazzercise-era remake of the old Bette Davis/Mary Astor tear-jerker "The Great Lie." Movie never makes up its mind whether it's ... Read More
Rating: - A Cut Above What You'd Expect
This film, made in 1986, is an enjoying flick. I don't agree that the musical score is overbearing or way out of date. It fits the time period well.
Moore and the rest of the cast do a fine job. I especially enjoyed Moore, as she channels the personality of Laura Petrie from the classic Dick Van Dyke show. Christine Lahti plays Sandy, a woman who has a bit more in common with Moore and her husband, played by Ted Danson, than she thinks. The dinner party where they all meet (together with ... Read More
Rating: - Sudsy but ultimately satisfying.....
Sudsy soap opera is saved by the touching performances of the leads, Mary Tyler Moore and Christine Lahti. Produced my Moore's production company MTM, this modern tale reminiscent of best of 1930s and 1940 melodrama actually transcends the gimmicky premise. Implausible as most soaps of this genre, JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS has a feminist edge not often seen in classic Hollywood. These kinds of "dramedies" rely less on writing skill and more on acting chops and manipulative tear dropping. While the performances ... Read More
