  There isn't one bad thing i could say about this movie. Everytime i watch it, it not only makes me cry but it makes me work even harder in wanting to fulfill my dreams in the dancing and music industry. The only thing that is stopping me is where to get noticed. One thing is for sure my children will grow up loving BEtte Midler as much as I do. You are such an inspiration. Keep up the great work as you have done in the past. Your work will not got frogotten, espesially in my family.
