 always a favorite , 2008-08-30
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.

Charming and delightful, 2008-08-03
I 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.

Spirit of Southern Friendship, 2008-07-14
Besides "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 trials of life. The importance of friendship is essentially the underlying theme of the movie. Just as "Gone With the Wind" shows how Scarlett O'Hara could survive any obstacle that comes her way, this movie shows how to handle the hardest life situation...death. Although the mood of the movie becomes somber, the ending really gives the viewer a real "feel good" feeling. I highly recommend this movie to those who love being immersed in the Southern culture and for those who simply want to watch an excellent movie.

Classic , 2008-06-13
One of the most heart-wrenching movies that shoes the true power of love and friendship. "Shelby, open your eyes!"

 Fun flick....but what was the POINT of this movie???, 2008-04-25
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 following: a young man who is now a widower, a family devistated by their unnecessary loss (despite BEGGING her not to get pregnant), and a child who has no mommy.
Remember, this was all the result of her choices. Chillingly, this is a real life story.
Now THAT brings a tear to my eye!
