I loved this movie, and frequently watch it again and again when I need a good emotional movie - or a good cry.  Don't watch without your Kleenex handy!!!!  I've never met a man that enjoyed this one... so don't bother watching it with them.  This is great to watch with the girls, or your sisters!!  The Louisiana setting is fun, along with all the southern-belle accents.  The story is just a moment in the lives of this family, and the choices a woman makes to have the family she so desires.  Full of crazy characters, and a wonderfully warm family... it's the ultimate "chick flick".
