Boys on the Side is a film about friendship, written by Don Roos and directed by Herbert Ross.

The film was made in 1995 and stars Whoopi Goldberg, Mary-Louise Parker, Drew Barrymore, Matthew McConaughey, James Remar, and Billy Wirth.

Three unique women embark on a cross-country road trip: Jane (Goldberg), a lesbian lounge singer in search of a new life; Holly (Barrymore), a pregnant girl who just wants to escape her brutal boyfriend; and Robin (Parker), an uptight real estate agent who has her own secrets (namely being infected with HIV). The three unlikely travellers form a special friendship on their journey which sees them through ultimately tragic times.

The trio accidentially kill Holly's abusive boyfriend, and thus hideout in a small town in Arizona, hoping to start a new life. However, Jane has a secret crush on Robin, Holly falls in love with and confesses to a local police officer (McConaughey).
