Steel Magnolias (1989)
Directed by Herbert
Ross this film based on the play of the same name stars Sally Field,
Dolly Parton, Shirely MacLaine, Daryle Hannah and Julia Roberts.
Women living in the same neighbourhood in the South prepare for a
wedding.
The basic plot here is
a fairly average drama that mixes in comedy from time to time. While
the overall story is fairly decent and stretches over a number of
years I think it lacks real impact by getting caught between two
stools when it comes to the tone. There is a really good cast and
what the film does best is not seem just a play filmed for the big
screen by not getting bogged down in one location.
3/5
