Clever title, huh?
So we all remember the 1995 film Now and Then (if not, it's time to pull your head out of your ass).
The movie flashes back and forth between past and present (doesn't the title make SO much sense now?!) and shows us the lives of four young friends and their older counterparts (from left to right: Samantha, Teeny, Chrissy, and Roberta).
But seriously, it's the ultimate friendship movie and beautifully depicts the meaning of love, loss, embracing oneself, growing up, and most importantly, the bonds that keep us going.
Yeah, sucks to be in THIS Sisterhood
Christina Ricci be like - "EAT A SANDWICH, BITCH."
Yeah, these girls know how to have fun.
And they really know what's up!
That's right, tits grow (if you're lucky).
Okay, maybe they don't know a whole lot.
Poor, poor Chrissy.
Yeah, I'd need a drink after that one too. Bottoms up, Sam!
At least they enlighten one another on the ways of the world.
And they tell it like it is.
FUCK BITCHE$$ GET M0N3YYYY33$$%%&
Most importantly, they got each other's backs.
Girl code!
And the soundtrack is FLAWLESS.

The movie even features cameos by these gems!
Bonnie Hunt plays Chrissy's reserved mother, the reason for her daughter's skewed perception on sexuality.
Sucks to be a basic bitch. Go back to eating your Twinkie, Chrissy.
Brendan Fraser plays a Vietnam war vet the girls meet during one of their adventures. He offers them words of wisdom about life and CIGARETTES.
THEY'RE 12 YEARS OLD.
Brendan Fraser don't give a shit though.
But see how indie and deep Sam becomes during their encounter with him?
This obviously makes everything a-okay ;)
Last but not least, Potato Head aka Rumer Willis (Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's real life daughter) plays Samantha's basic younger sister, Angela. She has like 5 lines in the whole movie.
Here's the trailer for the movie for you to get a better feel. All characters live by the time they become grown ups. No one overdoses and doesn't make it (cough, Stand By Me).
Sigh. Sweet, sweet nostalgia.
Anywho, here's a look at the stars of the movie, then and now ;)

Samantha
Young Sam, played by Gaby Hoffmann. Recently, she has guest starred in the HBO comedy Girls and is wanted for stealing Mia Thermopolis' eyebrows.
Old Sam, played by Demi Moore. I feel like we've all been following this bitch for years now. Girlfriend is still one hot mama, good for her.
Teeny
Young Teeny, played by Thora Birch. Yes, she was the little sister from Hocus Pocus, which was cute. But then I was scarred for life when I saw her titties in American Beauty. Childhood ruined. Dem knockers though!
Old Teeny, played by Melanie Griffith. Currently married to Spanish fox Antonio Banderas and obviously has been under the knife several times. Beauty doesn't come cheap, people!
Roberta
Young Roberta, played by Christina Ricci. This little nugget has held my heart captive from Casper, to The Addams Family, to Sleepy Hollow, and then Monster. She starred in the recently cancelled ABC drama Pan Am, but continues to have a thriving career with several projects ahead. Though she battled an eating disorder growing up, girlfriend looks UH-MAZING now. She's practically glowing!
Old Roberta, played by Rosie O'Donnell. How they cast Rosie as an older Christina Ricci is beyond me, but this comedian has sustained her place in the spotlight throughout the years. Yup, she's a lesbian (yay, gays!) but is also known for her most recent gig as a co-host on The View.
Chrissy
Young Chrissy, played by Ashleigh Aston Moore. Now and Then was her biggest gig, as well as a small role in Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain (also starring Christina Ricci, and Veep's Anna Chlumsky). Unfortunately, she led a short life as she died on December 10, 2007.
Old Chrissy, played by Rita Wilson. Married to megastar Tom Hanks, Wilson has also had a pretty stable career and currently appears on HBO's Girls as Allison Williams' character's mother. Yeah, I'd say Wilson is a definite milf.
Scott Wormer
Scott Wormer, played by Devon Sawa. Though his older self doesn't appear in the movie, Mr. Sawa was just such a cutie when he was a kid (hello, Casper!!!?!) and was actually a pretty big heartthrob in the 90s. He starred in the horror-thriller Final Destination (2000) and co-starred in The CW's action-drama Nikita, alongside Maggie Q and Shane West, which ended its run after four seasons.
Young Teeny, played by Thora Birch. Yes, she was the little sister from Hocus Pocus, which was cute. But then I was scarred for life when I saw her titties in American Beauty. Childhood ruined. Dem knockers though!
