VHS Movie Reviews of Steel Magnolias - Special Edition [VHS]
Movie Review: LOVE this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is an all time favorite of mine and I have seen it a countless number of times. The movie was actually filmed in Natchitoches, Louisiana, which is very close to where I live so I have visited the town, which is truly beautiful. I just want to state that I am some what bothered by some of the comments in other reviews stating that they wish the movie was more of this or more of that. This screenplay was written by Robert Harling about the life and horrible death of his sister Susan, who Julia Roberts character mirrors. This is a TRUE STORY based on Susan's REAL life & REAL death (in 1985) after the birth of her young son Jack Jr. The movie is what it is because Robert wrote it after locking himself in his room for 10 days after Susan's devastating death. Please feel free to research and you will find the truth, which is that this is not just some made up story but instead a story of the journey traveled by a real family from Natchitoches, La. That is also why the movie was filmed entirely in that lovely town. Robert Harling plays the preacher throughout the film, who marries Shelby & Jackson, who is at the cemetary & the Easter egg hunt on the river. He & his Mother were on site throughout ALL of the filming to make certain that it stayed true to the truth of their real life story. True fans should buy the "Steel Magnolias Scrapbook - Memories of Movie making in a small town" if you love the movie. It is a great book full of wonderful information. Movie Review: Steel Magnolias
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: A must if you're from the South (and everywhere else)
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: Good way to spend 2 hours
Summary: 5 Stars
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)Movie Review: Genuine Charm
Summary: 5 Stars
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!!!
Summary of Steel Magnolias - Special Edition [VHS]
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 KeoghDoctors & Patients Video
