Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Ed Hulse
A self-styled "woman's picture" that generates laughter and tears with equal facility, Steel Magnolias is blessed with an extraordinary ensemble of female actors, each of them cast to perfection. Much of the action revolves around a small Southern town's beauty shop, managed by lusty, straight-talkin' Dolly Parton. Her regular customers and close friends include devoted mother Sally Field, who's worried that her diabetic daughter Julia Roberts in her first major screen role isn't up to raising her newborn child; Shirley MacLaine, the town's tart-tongued curmudgeon; Olympia Dukakis, a no-nonsense matron who's Shirley's frequent sparring partner; and Daryl Hannah, Dolly's ditzy assistant. These characters are sharply drawn by Robert Harling, who adapts his own play to the screen and provides the women with crisp, natural dialogue. Director Herbert Ross The Goodbye Girl unites his talented performers, making them a cohesive group and reinforcing the notion that when women with common goals and yearnings stick together, there's nothing they can't accomplish or endure.
All Movie Guide - Jason Clark
While it never truly escapes its theatrical origins, Robert Harling's tale of a gaggle of loquacious Southern belles manages to succeed as a straightforward entertainment. More sentimental and heavy-handed than it needs to be, the movie nevertheless has a major selling point: it creates full-bodied characters for a talented troupe of A-list actresses, many of whom never get an opportunity to play roles that are as much fun. The film expands on the original six-character outline to include the men in these women's lives, but not to much success, as the actresses dominate the film throughout. Magnolias is well cast right down the line (only Sally Field takes her part too far over the top), with a luminous early role for Julia Roberts in the most affecting performance. Oddly enough, the film is often compared to Terms of Endearment, the film to which Harling would write and direct the sequel The Evening Star, an effort that failed to capitalize on either of these films' strengths or their impressive box office.

    Great movie, Even better play

    I love this movie, I had seen it numerous times before I was cast as Annelle in the play with a local theatre group. I must say that the play is by far much better than the movie. There are a lot of things that are omitted from the movie. However the movie is wonderful and I thoroughly enjoy being able to speak every line along with the actresses. The only downfall I believe is that the actors and actresses tried too hard to put on a southern accent. I myself am from Alabama and we really do not sound like that. I think they laid it on a little too thick. Other than that it's a wonderful movie. Very touching, and hilarious at the same time.

    Love those buns!

    I would just like to say that watching this film was most enjoyable,especially the shower scene.Besides all of this, I liked the movie in general, but I wish that they would have had at least one black actress in one of the leading roles, someone like maybe Cicely Tyson or Whoopee Goldberg. It would have made it even more interesting. although it was an excellent film.
