Trivia

This movie's title "Best Friends" is a bit of a fallacy. Even though they may be "best friends", from the start of the film, Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawns' characters are living together as partners and are "more than friends". See more »

Quotes

Paula McCullen: Breasts too large, Richard? Every female character you create has breasts too large.
