Written Steel Magnolias Anonymous. So, with all due respect, I simply do not understand why this movie had to be made at all, let along in all African American cast. What Steel Magnolias purpose did it serve, what value did it bring? The original Steel Magnolias is a classic, Steel Magnolias that I can watch again and again, and it has nothing to do with the color Steel Magnolias the skin of any of its characters. I don't know, Some things should be left alone. How do they say it? I gave it 2 stars to acknowledge the performances of a couple of the actors. I adore Queen Latifa and would pretty much watch anything with her, but this Steel Magnolias, in my opinion, should never have been made. It mostly just makes me angry.

Every time I see this movie, I want to eat a plateful of jambalaya and smell Steel Magnolias sweet aroma of a magnolia. No other movie I've seen quite captures the essense of southern living like Steel Magnolias. This movie has Steel Magnolias, hysterical comedy and satisfying drama. Everyone was great: as M'Lynn, a mother who still worries about her very grown up daughter; Julia Roberts as Shelby, a special young woman who feels that having a baby is worth risking everything; as Truvy, a lonely beautician who brightens like a light bulb when her little shop is full of "hens" : ; Olympia Dukkakis as Clairee, the town bigwig who loves to gossip; as Annelle, a very religious young Steel Magnolias who drives her friends crazy with her sudden fits of prayer; and of course who can forget Shirley McLaine as Ouiser, Steel Magnolias grouchy old wretch who tows her pathetic dog around and mercilessly cusses out the equally obnoxious Drum Tom Skerrit??? A very satisfying movie for comedy and drama lovers alike. A totally feel good, yet very real movie. Looking for some great streaming picks?
