A beautiful, bittersweet human comedy set in Americas deep south, Steel Magnolias unites the talents of Hollywoods finest actresses as six very special friends bonded together by their mutual triumphs and tragedies. Despite their differences, beautiful and impulsive Shelby (Julia Roberts in her Academy Award nominated role), her strong willed mother M'Lynn (Sally Field), beauty parlour owner Truvy (Dolly Parton), elegant widow Clairee (Olympia Dukakis), sharp-tongued Ouiser (Shirley MacLaine) and mousy newcomer Annelle (Daryl Hannah) enjoy a friendship that spans the boundaries of age and status. Sharing each others strength and loyalty, these six remarkable women survive the cycles of life, birth and death to emerge stronger, closer and still laughing! (Sony Pictures Releasing)

Steel Magnolias is a film that brings together a stellar cast of actresses who know how to play their roles. It gives us the opportunity to follow the joys and sorrows of the lives of several female characters who perhaps couldn't be more different, yet are united by friendship and family. The one who impressed me the most was Shirley MacLaine, who was convincingly obnoxious. All in all, a very well made and acted film about the lives of quite ordinary people with whom many of us could identify.
