![]() I recommend it for girls of all ages, and men who want to impress their girlfriends with a great flick for a Friday night. Although not the whole movie is set in the hair salon, a good portion of the film is, but it is done in just the right amount, and is written very well. The experiences that they have and the trials and tribulations they go through. It's wonderfully directed, only in that, it makes you feel apart of the never ending friendship that's between this group of women. Some might call it a chick flick, but I have to say that I know men have even gotten teary-eyed from this film. The basis of the film, is a beauty parlor, and although it might sound hokey, it's really not. Shirley MaClain, Olympia Dukakis, and Dolly Parton are the other three co-stars, that follow behind the three previous, and all make their characters unique. Among the cast there are very few men, but my favorite is Tom Skerrit, who plays Sally Field's husband, and father to Julia Robert. In fact, her character Anell, is the only role I've ever liked her in, and applaud her work in it. All the characters and performances in this are excellent, including one such, by Daryl Hannah, who I don't care for, but love in this movie. This is by far and away, her best role and performance she ever snagged, and nailed, and I rank her performance in this as one of my top five best performances in motion picture history of all time. But, the real gem and overlooked one in the movie is Sally Field. Julia Roberts, as I recall was nominated for her portrayal as a young woman with diabetes, and in my opinion, should have won for this and not for "Erin Brockovich". As many times as I've seen this film (and it's a lot), it never fails me with tears, laughter and excellent acting and reality. Although there are several films that I would rank in the top ten best of all time, this is probably my favorite, and is a good past time to watch that never lets me down. ![]()
