    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.

    This movie comes most alive in those scenes when all the well-cast women (including Jill Scott as an unusually reserved Truvy) are bouncing off each other, biting but never drawing blood.

    Downsizing to television not only doesn't hurt Steel Magnolias--it may have brought it into better focus.

    While some tension looms throughout Steel Magnolias, it's really more a character drama.
