Definitely a woman's movie. Sally Fields, Dollie Parton, Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis are real close friends.  They portray southern woman. The story is their life story,  Julia Roberts plays Sally Fields daughter and Daryl Hannah is a hair dresser.  There is so much to this movie. Funny, sad and a good movie for the girls to bring out the tissues. Great story and great actresses.
