Editorial Review:
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:  - Classic
One of the most heart-wrenching movies that shoes the true power of love and friendship. "Shelby, open your eyes!"
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 ... Read More
Rating: - A Wonderful Movie
If you have not seen "Steel Magnolia" at least once, this is a movie to add to your list. Not only jamm packed w/ wonderful stars, but has a wonderful story line. I did not know till years later, that this story, was the story of the Directors Sister. What a wonderful tribute. Watch out for the ending. It is a garanteed tear jerker. Curl up on the couch w/ this one and enjoy!!
Rating: - Steel Magnolias....awsome!!!
Love this movie! A "chick flick" is you need to label it...but awsome movie!!
Rating: - Just a great movie.
Widely regarded as a "chick flick" I love this move- and I'm a "real" "regular" guy, married, and drinks his fair share of beer with the guys. I think that there are more memorable lines in this film than any others that come to mind. (How could you not like "I love you more than my luggage?") Great characters and great dialog. A genuine keeper.
