Audio Commentary with Director Garry Marshall. Marshall is always fun to listen to, and he's quite funny through large swaths of this commentary. Marshall is quite gracious in doling out accolades to various people involved in the film. Marshall makes nonstop fun of some of the plot machinations, and that actually helps to make some of the more saccharine elements in the film go down a little easier.

Bonus included:
– Beaches Bloopers (6:59)
– Mayim Remembers Beaches (12:06) is a sweet reminiscence by the current day star of The Big Bang Theory.
