Summary: Classic Movie
Review: This movie stars Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Julia Roberts, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, Tom Skerritt, and Dylan McDermott. An all star cast. Yes the movie mirrors 1983's TERMS OF ENDEARMENT quite a bit, but this movie works with the star studded cast who all turn in worthy performances of Oscar's. It's such a special movie about love and friendship between these women, and the ties that bind them together. Roberts' character suffers from diabetes and has a child against her doctors orders. Her character needs a kidney transplant and her on screen mom played by Sally Field, gives her kidney. However the kidney is rejected and ultimately Roberts' character dies. Truly tugs at the heartstrings and Field gives a demanding performance with her outburst at the end after the funeral. Parton, Hannah, MacLaine and Dukakis turn in comical performances that make you smile and warms your heart. Overall truly a beautiful movie that I do consider a classic.

Summary: I Just Totally Love This Movie.
Review: Ok YES I admit I am a hopeless romantic. This movie is another that just touches and uplift's the human heart and spirit at its very core. The ladies in this movie are all strong opinionated souls. There is nothing on earth more beautiful and femine than a self assured strong willed woman who lives life boldly with passionate joy that is so in touch with itself she demands\inspires all around her to live fully as she does.These ladies in their own unique ways teach about love, faith, hope and charity. The good ladies in this movie are so much fun too. Watching this movie is just a pure joy. As a black man I must say that the fact this movie never really showed the beauty of today's educated fun modern southern black woman does take away from the DVD's overall impact. This movie suffers intensely from its culturally monotoned nature, an ugly hell from which nothing can rescue it. ..... I'd brought Steel Magnolia's because I loved the joy in the movie. Hey that locker room scene alone is worth the price of the DVD if seeing "Great BIG Nekid Football MEN'Z" is your passion.

Summary: Laughter and Tears
Review: A wonderful movie i have watched over and over through the years. I didn't care for it much when i saw it in the theater. But i gave it another chance a couple ofyears later and have loved it ever since! Worth a couple of viewings then decide for yourself! I went where they filmed this movie in Louisiana and it portrays southern life very well in both Lousisana and Texas and all the other southern states.

Summary: A movie about life
Review: Steel Magnolias fits perfectly into that particular genre of movie that deals, quite simply, with the concept of 'everyday life'. It's just that everyday life, as the movie convincingly reveals, is never quite that simple. The film details the lives of several women living in America's Deep South and how, despite their obvious differences, each is a supportive friend to each of the others. Within this complex web of relationships, set across the backdrop of a small community, all emotional aspects of life are explored from birth to marriage to death - even religion gets something of a look in. Through this exploration we get to understand and know more about the characters, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Steel Magnolias is, in short, an emotional film: it's both happy and sad, it will make you laugh and it will probably make you cry. And that's just the way it should be, after all that's the way of real life.

Summary: one to re-watch and re-watch
Review: You cry, you laugh, it is everything a good movie should be. The characters are all loveable, and there is nothing more humorous than good old southern women talking about everything from men to their balding dogs. A classic. I have seen this so many times with the money i have spent renting it I could probably have bought several copies.

Summary: The Wonderful Human Spirit
Review: I have been a substitute teacher and this movie is in every class that teaches human relatinoships. It is hilarious. serious,sad, and includes every situation in life people need each other. These people never turn on each other as different as they are from each other . Daryl Hannah is new in town and they include her in the bonding that they have for each other. They are always there for each other in a time of crises. Everyone should watch this movie at least once. I bait people to just watch it for five minutes and they are hooked on it and just love it. It is about the real human spirit and how we all need each other. It is a wonderful cast and a magnificent movie. Mrs Symmington

Summary: Amazing Movie, Great Performances
Review: This movie is just one of the best dramas I've seen. All the characters are multi-dimensional and essential the the movie's development. I won't say what the movie about since I'm sure you already know. Sally Field truly shows us a mothers emotion when trajedy stikes so close to home. The bond that all the women developed over the years comes to the fore when they all come together to show support in this most desperate time. By the way, this is the saddest and yet funniest part of the movie. Don't miss this and if you've seen it years ago, watch it again and again. Amazing!!!

Summary: Timeless Classic!
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite movies, I love everything about it, the witty script, the well-drawn characters, the top-notch performances of the actresses/actors...too bad the rating scale only goes to 5 stars because Steel Magnolias deserves 10! Perhaps it's because I'm from the South but watching this particular movie is like watching a home movie, I know these women! Steel Magnolias is truly a slice of life, full of laughter, tears, frustrations, change, loss and joy! And just when I thought the movie couldn't get any better, the DVD version became available. The deleted scenes and other tidbits are nice but the overwhelming reason to buy this version of the film is for the interview with the author. I was floored to learn that Steel Magnolias is a 'real life' story which only makes every scene in this already powerful movie that much more meaningful. If you've never seen Steel Magnolias don't just rent it, buy it! In my opinion it's destined to be one of the all-time greats of filmdom.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: Good Movie but this one is definitly for girls only because it has no action and Guys will probably find it boring. Anyways I liked the movie and being a girl I loved this movie. It had great one liners and had many wonderful stars in it such as Julia Roberts and Sally Field. This movie released in 1989 shows it's age somewhat but will always remain a classic. This is a must have for girls only.
