Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: Based on Robert Harling's play, this comedy-drama directed by Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) follows several years in the lives of women who regularly see one another at a beauty shop in their small Louisiana town. The story deepens as Julia Roberts, playing a serious diabetic and the daughter of Sally Field, goes downhill in her health. But as an ensemble piece, this is one of those enjoyably lumpy tearjerkers with many years' worth of stored truths suddenly being shared between the characters, lots of grievances aired, that sort of thing. Daryl Hannah and Shirley MacLaine assume the most eccentric roles, Dolly Parton the most fun, and Olympia Dukakis the most dignified, while Sally Field essentially provides the moral and emotional center of the movie. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - always a favorite This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The flavor of the South is so enjoyable (one of my favorite scenes is the dancing at Shelby's wedding), and the cast is superb. Thought I'd better get the dvd before my tape wears out from being played over and over. Rating: - Charming and delightfulI love the scene's from the south and I just think that the accent that Dolly has is so cute. This movie is a good example of true friendship. The "girls" have fun together, laugh and cry together. It's hard to find a friend that will stick with you when you are ugly and this movie just is such a great example of that. Rating: - Spirit of Southern FriendshipBesides "Gone With the Wind", this movie is my favorite of all-time. What a cast! Dolly Parton, Sally Field, and Julia Roberts are outstanding in their acting abilities. Dolly Parton brings so much warmth to her role, I truly felt like she was my Southern mother. I loved seeing the Southern culture and all of its traditions (the armadillo groom's cake was hilarious) depicted in such splendor. I also liked the emphasis on friendship and how very important friendship is to surviving with the harshest ...

Rating:  - Fun flick....but what was the POINT of this movie???I enjoyed the banter between the gals just as much as the other reviewers here. This the four stars. BUT...stop and think: In my gut I believe the director was trying to portray Julia Robert's character as sympathetic/tragic. The real tragedy was the fallout as a result of a selfish decision to go againt common sense and medical advice and have a baby. So, at the end of the film, despite all the pretty flowers and softly filmed sunshine in the park we've got the ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
