hindasound Like many others, I wonder WHY this was made at all. In the very few moments I sat through, I could tell it was a verbatim re-do of the original. So, why? The talents of the actors are better showcased elsewhere.It's not really fair for me to rate it, as I did not (could not) watch the whole thing.

lorelei963-568-170387 The original Steel Magnolias cannot be improved upon. It is classic and close to the heart of the Southern Lady. Funny, tragic and the line that says Laughter through tears is the best emotion is the most descriptive of this classic. This remake would be the equivalent of trying make Madea into an old white lady. Simply loses all credibility, humor, and insults the wisdom of the viewer. All copies of this movie should be burned and never shown again. I love the actresses in the movie. I really can't believe they even did this or bought into the idea of this remake. They are good actresses and likable women. In this movie....it's just wrong, bad, and hard to watch.

rollanrenee What an absolute ATROCITY to the remake. I love lifetime movies but what the hell was that? Totally disgusting. Lifetime please stop making remakes of classic movies. I have to write 10 lines. So what else can I say. It sucked. Very poorly acted. Very, very disappointing when I found out they remade the movie. I was excited to watch it but 5 minutes into the movie I wanted to just poke my eyes out. Like I said what an atrocity to the remake. They should be ashamed. Worst acting I have ever seen. LEAVE REMAKES ALONE. LEAVE CLASSICS ALONE. And leave acting to people who can actually act. Very awful. Sucked. Worst I have seen.

Dfamcomedy I appreciate the fact that these actors And actresses stepped outside their comfort zone to remake this classic. I absolutely loved it. It really got me choked up. Men do cry when it's a good movie. Must see to appreciate. Queen Latifah is definitely that as she can play any role. Jill Scott is adorable and so full of life. These ladies definitely reached to this movie but it was amazing to see how major stars can come together and put on a fabulous movie. I can't stop crying. Wow I wish this could have came to theaters instead of just TV it's way to good for that. I can't say enough about the life changing events that this movie portrays along with the great scene is Louisiana. Reminds me so much of my childhood. Please watch to understand and appreciate the work of some of the most talented ladies of our time.
