This chick flick is another around the table talk-athon, where everyone whines and nothing gets really resolved. The acting was way over the top. Maybe they'll like it in Arkansas **snore**... Full review

You'll sit waiting for something to happen and, when it does, you'll wonder why you didn't do laundry instead. This is more of a women's liber-type movie. I don't think men will like any aspect of it.... Full review

A strong cast and charming story.....Told with good humour and a deep understanding of the motivations of the characters..... ... Full Review

Bullock is so good that it's with reluctance that we keep leaving the present and going into flashback.
In flashbacks, the movie stands still, despite Ashley Judd, who has many strong moments as the young Vivi.

The track is both warm and lively, thanks in part to the film's remarkable Cajun-fried soundtrack.....Here's an early Christmas present for that special drama queen in your life.....More successful is the commentary track by Khouri and Ashley Judd, whose respect for her actresses (especially the young actress who played her as a child) is quite humbling.....Khouri has no real patience for the history and origins of the Ya-Ya sisterhood, successfully simplifying race.... ...

The music is terrific.
Put together by T Bone Burnett, the soundtrack is really good and moving most of the time.
The cast is, as said earlier, an outstanding one.
