GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

anotherweasley I'm such a huge fan of the original film-so many strong actresses and it was SO funny...I was excited to see the remake. Less than 20 minutes into it, I was already disappointed. That's an under-statement. Not only were the choices for the lead actresses terrible, but some of the dialogue was VERBATIM from the original film! If you're trying to match it that closely, you'd better make sure that you SURPASS the original film. It just didn't happen. Not to mention that some of my favorite characters were not only not as funny as the original actresses, but they weren't funny AT ALL! The dialogue/lines may have been the same, but the delivery was an epic fail (Ouiser, for instance...originally played by Shirley Mclain-hilarious-in the remake-not even remotely funny, even though many of the lines were exactly the same.)I would say the ONLY scene that made the movie a little good/worth watching was the scene between M'Lynn and Shelby just before the transplant operation. It added something deeper to that whole part of the film to have M'Lynn say she was glad she could give life to Shelby more than once-that was a good addition.Other than that, don't bother. Watch the original twice instead.

BigWhiskers Why can't people leave things alone ? . I just don't get the playwright who based it on his own experiences within his own family wanting to redo it again using a black cast? . This movie is terrible on so many levels , from the painful awful acting , the ruining of classic scenes and lines ,the bad background music , the sets . I could go on and on.I don't get why people feel the need to redo wonderful movies with TV movie of the week crap featuring terrible awful actors. Most of the people in this movie couldn't act if their lives depended on it . Watching Condola Rashad was beyond painful , she cannot act worth a sh** and I'm sorry but her mom is equally as awful and of course that explains why her daughter is in this , I hate it when actors put their kids in front of the camera simply because they can when their kids cant act and i stress cant. She ruins the character of Shelby and makes me sick , This movie is just so bad , so bad ,so bad. I wish it had never been made . I'd give it a minus -100 //

Seemp deHond People relate to others by sharing similar experiences and shared emotions.That's what I THOUGHT! But apparently in the US there is such a big racial difference that the actors have to be Af.American in the SAME story to entice the market of af.am audience. Hopelessly condescending and bias. Women all over the world just loved the original regardless of the mid-west whiteness of the cast at the time. My European, Turkish, African friends loved it as much as my Asian coworkers and my Moroccan neighbour. This is just plain stupid since the whole movie doesn't contribute anything, it's not creatively adjusted to this age, no special differences in character. It's a money grab with ridiculous racial bias.

TD Toy The original movie shows a much stronger bond and relationship between the cast. The banter in the original is so natural and funny, the whole cast is cute and hilarious. I love the idea of an update and I love the cast. Phylicia Rashad is a wonderful actress, Alfre Woodard is a favorite since Hearts & Souls and Grand Canyon. I watch every Queen Latifah movie that comes out. The problem with the movie is that there was no real feeling in the acting. The lines were said and tears were in the eyes but there just wasn't the same sense of love and camaraderie that you felt in every scene in the 1989 version. Key points that bugged me: -Shelby 1989 was cute, lovable and exuberant, Shelby 2013 was muted and plain -M'lynne 1989 was tough and loving, M'lynne 2013 was loving but seemingly already defeated. -The relationship between Truvy, Ouiser, Clairee and Annelle is much more developed in the original. They seem to have so much fun. Ouiser and Clairee have the best banter ever. In the remake they just have no chemistry. -In the remake the relationship between Truvy and her husband Spud is never resolved which is one of my favorite stories in the original. -The love hate relationship between Ouiser and Drum is hilarious in 1989 but the 2013 version it was just never developed. -And finally, most importantly, the climax that sally field absolutely nailed in the original and the supporting cast made one the the most memorable scenes in cinematic history was not redone with the proper care in my opinion. I mean you basically remake a movie scene for scene and then ruin the climax? What? There is more but...Queen, Phylicia, Alfre I still love you but at the end of the day the original cast knocked this play out of the ballpark and it is a hard act to follow.
