Even though we all know what happens, somehow in the hands of these magnificent women, you'll be wishing and hoping for a different ending. Read full review

Despite the tragedy that drives its plot, there's something slight about Steel Magnolias--a slightness that at times might have benefited from a lighter, faster touch. But it offers the pleasure of spending a Sunday night with some terrific female actors. Read full review

Um remake emocionante! Queen Latifah é uma excelente atriz sempre dando um show de atuação juntando com um elenco maravilhoso não podia dar errado. Impossível assistir esse filme e não se emocionar, muito bom mesmo. Nota 10.
