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 Wellss precious bestseller. First theres Sidda (Sandra
Bullock), a successful playwright still wrestling with her manipulative
mother, Vivi (Ellen Burstyn), after a traumatic upbringing. Then theres
longtime friends Teensy (Fionnula Flanagan), Necie (Shirley Knight), and
Caro (scene-stealer Maggie Smith), from Vivis 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. Theres plenty of humor to temper
the drama, which inspires Bullocks best work in years. Definitely worth a
look for the curious, but only fans of Wellss fiction will feel any twinge of
loyalty. --Jeff Shannon
Personal Review: Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood [VHS]
starring Sandra Bullock, Ellen Burstyn, Fionnula Flanagan,
James Garner, Cherry Jones
This is one of my favorite movies. I may be a little biased because I had
grandparents that remind me of many of the characters, but this movies is
great.
The actors are perfect in each role and watching it more than once brings
out details you dont notice before.
An excellent movie.
