Ok, so it's a film largely about women - but I still reckon Tom Skerritt's innovative way of stopping crows nesting in his tree is one of the best moments of this otherwise really quite sentimental drama. Things all centre around "Shelby" (Julia Roberts) who is about to be married to her sweetheart "Jackson" (Dylan McDermott) and so they are all frequenting the beauty salon of the cheery "Truvy" (Dolly Parton). Now the joy isn't quite abounding here as her mother "M'Lynn" (Sally Field) knows that her daughter is not the healthiest and after a seizure in the hairdressers we sense that childbearing might not be best for her. Luckily, they have a formidable group supporting them - not least "Clairee" (Olympia Dukakis) who has more money than God; the no-nonsense "Ouiser" (Shirley MacLaine) replete with huge great mutt, and the new girl on the block - "Anelle" (Daryl Hannah) who quotes scripture given the slightest chance and who comes across as just a little naive. Now rid of the pesky birds, the wedding proceeds and so does the arrive of "Jack Jnr", but what are the chances that this tightly-knit community can survive unscathed as "Shelby" tries to live an independent life. As you might expect, Field manages the motherly role with an almost visceral aplomb and Roberts does fine too, but it's really the others from this cast who gives the film it's quirky richness. Parton delivers her ditzy but compassionate "Truvy" quite engagingly and both MacLaine and Dukakis manage to craft some withering looks into their equally withering dialogue to generate much of the humour. It's Hannah, though, that I felt stole the show. Her character's inate humanity, decency and bare-faced innocence made me cringe at times but it also presented a joyous personality unsullied by the more tawdry goings on of day to day life - even though she does have a few of her own demons too. This is quite a touching story about community, resiliance and the varying disguises love can adopt as it travels amongst us, and though it can sail very close to a wind made of schmaltz, it's still a very human story that espouses the American ideal front and centre.
