| DVD Description Grab your tissues and send the guys away, because Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is the most pedigreed chick flick since Steel Magnolias. You can tell by the title and the novelish names of the Louisiana ladies from Rebecca Wells's precious bestseller. First there's Sidda (Sandra Bullock), a successful playwright still wrestling with her manipulative mother, Vivi (Ellen Burstyn), after a traumatic upbringing. Then there's longtime friends Teensy (Fionnula Flanagan), Necie (Shirley Knight), and Caro (scene-stealer Maggie Smith), from Vivi's secret club of "Ya-Ya Priestesses," together since childhood and determined to heal the rift between Sidda and her mom. Through an ambitious flashback structure (including Ashley Judd as the younger Vivi), screenwriter and first-time director Callie Khouri (who wrote Thelma & Louise) establishes a rich context for this mother-daughter reunion. There's plenty of humor to temper the drama, which inspires Bullock's best work in years. Definitely worth a look for the curious, but only fans of Wells's fiction will feel any twinge of loyalty. --Jeff Shannon |

Super movie Moms and kids, good and evil. I saw the tail end of this movie on TV, it seemed a good movie to me. Wonderful cast.
What A Great Cast! I really love this movie. The first time I watched it, I did have a little trouble keeping track with the which of the younger characters represented which of the older characters. However, if you go to the Internet Movie Database found easily on Google, you can look up this movie and learn the names of each character ahead of time and it will help. But even if you don't, your knowing which of the supporting characters is which is not crucial. (And maybe I'm just daft!) This movie is very enjoyable especially if you've ever known anyone who had a strained mother-daughter relationship or if you especially enjoy true female commraderie. I especially like the ending with the mother-daughter, and watching all the women interact with one another as lifelong best friends. Not for young kids due to some violence and some alcohol/drug abuse.
More than just a comedy. The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is a great and deeply moving mother and daughter film. First of all, Ellen Burstyn and Sandra Bullock have great and exciting chemistry as the bickering mother and daughter. Ashley Judd plays Burstyn's character as the film travels back in time, and boy Judd's acting is brilliant and don't say that often about her. This is the kind of role that is perfect for her, her character has depth. This movie is the best chick-flick I have come across in awhile. I highly recommend checking these crazy Ya-Ya's out. Enjoy! |
