Rating:  - G.R.Donham
Very good product in VHS. However buyers beware of this title in DVD. I purchased 2 from different sellers and the sound was missing on both.
Rating: - Classic movie to share with your gal pals
I always loved this movie, and I was able to share this movie with my teen daughter.... she loved it just as much as I did. The characters and acting are priceless and I really couldnt be happier that I found it!
Rating: - Women's love and strenght!
After many years, I watched this film again a couple of days ago. It continues to be a touching and great women's story. Whenever it came to my mind, I remembered Sally Field's performance as Shelby's mother, M'Lynn, always giving love and support to her daughter even against her will and mother's feelings. All actresses were great, but my favourite charater will be always Sally Field's.
Rating:  - GREAT PERFORMANCES DRIVE THIS FILM!
This could be the "chick flick" to end all chick flicks, but the wonderful cast of ladies raises this other wise superficial and brisk moving story to a higher level. The film follows the lives of six women for about a four year period. We don't really see as many layers as the film makers would like us to believe, it is essentially a bunch of hens flapping their wings and doing "girl things". This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because these girls are captivating and they can act even if a lot of this seems a bit stagey! There are also several powerful scenes in this film.
The men in this movie are mere pawns and are there only to move the film along to it's predicable and manipulative ending. 'Your gonna cry so help me!', but between all the gossip and the drama, it's got some great performances and that is the reason for my 4 star rating. Take it easy on my ladies, it's a good movie, but it's not great.
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.
