I must admit. When I first heard of this movie many years ago, the title didn't sound that appealing and the few scenes that I saw didn't look very interesting. But what can I say? I was little then and didn't know what I was missing. My mother kept telling me how good of a movie this was, but I was just too stubborn and didn't pay attention. It was only a few months ago that I decided to watch it when it appeared on TV and boy was I surprised!!

This movie is beyond anything that I have ever viewed in my entire life. Usually, this sort of movie isn't the kind that I look at, but I fell in love with the story and the characters, as well as the wonderful actresses (Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Mary-Louise Parker) who did an outstanding job portraying their characters in a unique and unforgettable way.

Since I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it, let me just say that it's an astounding tale of a special friendship that goes way beyond what we would call a "regular" one. It will make you thankful for the friends you have and even give women a sense to stand up for their own rights. All in all, I give this movie a 10 out of 10. If you haven't seen it, what are you doing reading this?! Go out and rent it!

I enjoyed this movie very much and after watching it only twice, I went out and bought the DVD. Everything was top-notch and I have nothing bad to say.

The acting was extravagant, the storyline was intriguing, and the quality of the film was awesome.

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman gave wonderful performances that had me on the edge of my seat all the way to the very end. It was believable and made me want to view the movie all over again. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest did extremely well as the aunts and they had me laughing like no other. Aidan Quinn and Goran Visnjic were unlike anything I've ever seen before and they portrayed their characters better than I could've imagined. Evan Rachel Wood and Alexandra Artrip were adorable as the little girls and made me feel like a young kid again. And the movie wouldn't be complete without the performances of the others cast in this wonderful film.

Overall, I say this movie is definitely one of my faves and something I'll be watching for the rest of my life. I give this movie a 10 out of 10. I recommend that you go out and rent this movie. One of the best I've ever seen!!
