Heart warming, emotional, strong women bonds.
While there are comedic moments, a tissue box is necessary for viewing. Incredible performances by a stacked cast and a beautiful story.
Story of family, friendship, love and loss, heartwarming and heartwrenching, a story line that still works
Well developed characters. The portrayal of diabetes is absolutely awful though.
What a cast! Such emotional scenes and a bitter sweet story. Loved it.
I loved this movie when it came out. Not sure how it holds up today.
Saddest movie I’ve ever seen but exceptional acting by Sally Field who should have won an Oscar for this movie.
Dolly, Sally, Julia, Shirley. Big laughs, big tears, even bigger hair.. what’s not to love?
It's just nice to see this type of friendship form amongst women, like you could just spend hours with them, chatting.
Heartbreaking. I saw it with my mom and by the end we both cried like infants.
