 A must if you're from the South (and everywhere else) Nov 16, 2009
I grew up in Louisiana and this is a great movie (I'm a bit impartial) that presents the South beautifully and with a lot of humor. The story is based on a real family from Natchotiches and it is just wonderful. The cast is fantastic! Have a box of kleenex with you for the end and also, enjoy the music! The soundtrack is beautiful.
Good way to spend 2 hours Sep 12, 2009
I love this movie. It's real. It's funny. It's sad. Be ready to laugh out loud. Keep a box of tissues handy. Overall it's a feel-good story of friendship in the South. A good way to spend a couple of hours. (BTW--subtitles in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Thai)
Genuine Charm Aug 03, 2009
This movie is an absolute MUST HAVE if you're a mother, a daughter, an aunt or grandmother; and it's a definite MUST HAVE if you're from the SOUTH!!! A-list actors abound & Dolly Parton is a hoot! Big thumbs up for Tom Skerritt as well. It's an enjoyable ride with lot's of "laughter through tears" which is Truvy's (Dolly's character) favorite emotion & if you liked Olympia as Cher's mother in 1987's "Moonstruck" you'll love her even more as Miss Clairee!!!
 So many classic lines Jul 31, 2009
I love the one-liners from this movie. Plus, it's a good story. Very enjoyable.
"EXCELLENT!" Jun 08, 2009
"Steel Magnolias" made Julia Roberts a movie star, and proved that Dolly Parton was as good an actress as Sally Field and Shirley MacLaine. The film is about a group of best friends in Louisanna who come together when one of them loses their daughter. A splendid film, "Steel Magnolias" will make you laugh and cry. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone says, "The ladies are live wires. Just stand back and watch them set off sparks".
While filming Christmas scenes in 100 degree weather in the summer of 1988, Dolly was sitting on the sidelines quietly waiting for her call from the director. Totally made up in heavy sweater and a wig, Dolly was approached by Julia Roberts who, with the exception of Dolly, was complaining about the heat. She said to Dolly, "how can you just sit there and not complain about the heat?", to which Dolly stated, "when I was a little girl I wanted to be two things, rich and famous, and now that I'm both of those things I'm not gonna complain". Julia was speechless! Another good quote from Dolly too was when the director, Herbert Ross, told her she couldn't act. Dolly exclaimed, "Shoot I know I can't act. You didn't hire me so I could act. You hired me because I'm a personality. I'm Dolly Parton. So if your any kind of director you'll make it look like I'm acting!".
The dvd comes with director's commentary, deleted scenes, talent files, and more.
