Review of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

I have never been too keen on movies that use flashbacks. It's so disruptive. James Garner plays a roll that would require a saint to hang in there. He sure was good though. Now for Ellen Burstyn. I liked her acting all the way. At the end all I wanted to do was hug her. She even looked, well beautiful the last quarter of the movie. This is the first movie I can recall seeing her in. I really like her a lot. The problem with this movie is you know the end ten minutes into it You know ma ma and daughter will reconcile sooner or later. The other three ya-ya members also were very good actresses. Now why I stayed with it. Four reasons! 1 Sandy 2 Sandy. 3 Sandy 4 Sandy. What can I say that hasn't been said about her. She is the greatest. The scene with Ellen and Sandy reconciling really touched me deeply. The music in that scene really was haunting. I think a tear or two may have fallen. The best line is when Vivie says "now I have strangers coming up to me telling me I'm ruining there lives". I laughed till it hurt.
