    Jun 19, 2012
    Pros: great cast, very scenic, funny and touching
    Cons: generally appeals more to women than men

    Summary: I’ve been making very good use of my Netflix Instant Viewing account these last couple of months due to frequent bouts of long-distance synchronized movie viewing. While the selection in that format still isn’t nearly as good as it is through the DVD ... read more

    Pros: It did not cause my head to literally explode
    Cons: But it had me worried there for a while

    Summary: If Epinions is to be believed, Steel Magnolias is a five-star movie, one of the greatest films ever put to celluloid. Steel Magnolias is better than E.T., better than Goodfellas, better than all the Lord of the Rings ... read more

    Nov 2, 2003
    Pros: Brilliant acting. Brilliant touching story.
    Cons: None

    Summary: A rare occurrence is a film that has all the ingredients. It has the acting. The comedy. The drama. The settings. The ups and the downs. If you were asked to put all of them together, and think of a film, the variety is very few. But, from time to time th ... read more

    Oct 27, 2002
    Pros: One of the movies that you want to watch, again and again.
    Cons: The lump in my throat.

    Summary: I'll never forget watching this movie in the theatre upon it's release, with a bunch of my girlfriends. You see, me and a few other friends were in New York when it was on Broadway, or was that off Broadway? Can't remember, anyway...we jumped into a ... read more

    Aug 11, 2001
    Pros: A smart funny movie that touches the heart of every woman
    Cons: Most men don't enjoy.

    Summary: This is the most incredible movie. I say that not because of the script or the acting or the plot (which are all wonderful), but because it is the only movie I know of that every woman has seen and loved. If you want to start a heartfelt conversation ... read more

    Pros: Tom Skerrit, strong women pictured beautifully
    Cons: Sally Field was rarely joyous in this one

    Summary: I thought of this movie over the weekend thanks to a pregnancy that wasn't supposed to be and the happiness that resulted from it. If that's not enough to scare off the average male viewer I'm not sure what is. Sure, Steel Magnolias is ... read more

    Summary: Steel Magnolias...where can I even begin? When this movie came out, I refused to watch it. I have noticed that most movies based in Louisiana tend to make ALL of the people living here seem like uneducated hicks with bad language problems, so ... read more

    Pros: An amazing cast of truly southern women of every taste.
    Cons: I really cannot handle Julia dying. It's so sad.

    Summary: Steel Magnolias, directed by Herbert Ross, is by far one of the best films I've seen in this genre. There is little negative to say about the film and again I'll try to withhold my Julia Roberts bias, but in this case it may be near impossible. ... read more
