More Detail:
In the politically correct propaganda piece BOYS ON THE SIDE, Whoopi Goldberg, Mary-Louise Parker and Drew Barrymore star as three New York women who share a cross-country car trip and end up closer than friends once they determine that love need not be gender exclusive nor biologically traditional.
Manipulation abounds in BOYS ON THE SIDE, which director Herbert Ross calls “a film about the creation, evolution and resolution of a family unit.” On the contrary, this movie is nothing more than an audacious attempt at redefining the traditional family. The script even goes so far as to define one’s family as whomever one ends up with in life, regardless of race, creed, sexual preference, personal taste, or criminal record — sort of a “last man standing” approach. Reasonably well acted (with the exception of Drew Barrymore) but filled with blistering obscenities and sexual immorality, BOYS ON THE SIDE strongly supports homosexuality as a viable lifestyle, viewed as negative only by unreasonably biased and bigoted homophobes. The movie offers no hope for redemption and only brief solace in crisis, substituting politically correct precepts on social behavior in the place of true “family” values.
