Dick Kleiner co Newspaper Enterprise Association Park Ave New York Y 10166 Due to the volume of matt personal replies cannot be provided Midlers at her sassy best in Beaches By Robert DiMatteo In Movie Theaters BEACHES PG13 From very first scene Midler takes this movie puts it in her pocket and never gives it back Playing a musical com edy star who makes up in charm and chutzpah- what she lacks in perfect looks Is at her sassy best If while watching her recent wacko comedy roles youve wondered what happened to the sleeve Midler of The Rose this movie shows you shes alive and well Alas most of Beaches is dead on arrival Its a shameless hybrid of that weeper Old Acquaintance Rich and Famous the remake of Acquaintance Turning Point and Terms of Endearment Barbara Hersbey fresh from plastic surgery that makes her look more perfectly beautiful but also less Interesting costars as Bettes op posite number a sleek WASP princess who becomes an earnest successful lawyer Following the friendship of these two very different women from child hood on Beaches finally arrives at one of those tearjerker climaxes that depending on your tolerance for manipulation will either warm your heart or make you retch Through It all Bette shines She sings several songs with each arriv ing like a present for the viewers Kuan livens things up briefly as brasslunged mother and two child actresses are wonderfully effective as young versions of the Midler and characters A case could be made that the two or three best written and most sus tained scenes in the movie are the childhood ones in which the two stars dont even appear GRADE WORKING GIRL Grif fith that slightly dizzy actress with a tantalizing edge of sexual effrontery is cast to full advantage In this entertaining tic comedy Griffith plays McGill a among the sharks of corporate Manhattan Prime cuda Is her boss Sigourney Weaver a pretentiously selfcentered exec who thinks nothing of appropriating Tess bright ideas for ber own Adding spice to the stew is fellow exec Harrison Ford approaches him with her Idea along the way sue Climbing to his Gary Cooper charm Little does she know that hes also Si- main man Written by Kevin Wade the movie is slickly satiric just like Wade play Key Exchange At its most se rious it suggests that women can bring something humane to the male- dominated world of big business The Sigourney Weaver character is more of a cutthroat than any of the male execs The script Is Just serviceable at times especially in the later scenes when farcical complications fail to build as effortlessly as they might But the actors are a lot of fun to watch and this may be director Mike Nichols liveliest movie in years GRADE www TWINS As a genetically per feet specimen of manhood raised on a remote Island who suddenly learns that he has a twin brother Arnold Schwarzenegger shows some warmth and a flair for silliness in this other wise disappointing comedy The brother is played by Danny Vito hardly your candidate for ge netic perfection Once the boys get ac quainted they team up to find their long lost mother while dodging thugs and driving a stolen car with a prize discovery hidden in the trunk DeVito is more subdued than usual which is nice He seems to be willing to hand the picture over to Schwar zenegger who responds with a non stop show of glee he often seems to be
