Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Boys on the Side


Jane (Whoopi Goldberg) and Robin (Mary Louise Parker) meet through a newspaper ad and become road trip buddies on a trip out west. Along the way, they pick up a friend (Drew Barrymore) whose abusive boyfriend doesn't want her to go. The girls kill him (accidentally), and their fugitive status forces them to trust each other, but each character has an internal antagonist that threatens to not only consume them, but their friendship as well.
