		`Steel Magnolias" is essentially a series of comic one-liners leading up to a teary tragedy, but let it be said that the one-liners are mostly funny and the tragedy deserves most, but not all, of the tears.
		These six women are the steel magnolias of the title, Southern belles who are dippy on the outside but strong enough inside to survive any challenge, of which in this film there are many.
		"Steel Magnolias" is willing to sacrifice its over-all impact for individual moments of humor, and while that leaves us without much to take home, you've got to hand it to them: The moments work.

	'Steel Magnolias' (PG)
		Watching Herbert Ross's "Steel Magnolias," you feel as if you have been airlifted onto some horrible planet of female impersonators.
		Stylistically, "Steel Magnolias" runs on gags, pitched to the cheapest seats, and maudlin emotion, pitched to the cheapest sentiments.
		But "Steel Magnolias" is about blindly generic good vibes, and what he accomplishes with it mainly is sentiment-mongering.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Steel Magnolias \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Steel Magnolias" is an ensemble piece set in the modern-day South, specifically a small town in Louisiana.
		All the actors here are good in their roles, but the standouts are clearly Parton in a subdued, realistic down-home performance, and MacLaine, in a flamboyant tour de force (though her makeup looks more like bad use of cosmetics than old age).
		All in all "Steel Magnolias" is worth a look, but it is not the powerhouse film that was clearly intended.

		"Steel Magnolias" may be the name of a movie~~A deeply moving one at that~~But it also describes one of the few people I've ever been Blessed to have in my Life~~my daughter.
		I'm sure you know a beautiful "Steel Magnolia" in your own Life~~remember to treat them gently~~tenderly~~and hold them dear to your heart~~For you never know when that "Steel Magnolia" may finally~~wither and die.

	Steel Magnolias
		Theatre New Brunswick is advertising its season opener, Steel Magnolias, as "gentle humour" and "tender drama." If that's been dissuading you from buying a ticket, there's good news: you can get yourself right down to the box office.
		Its basic idea -- that under the beauty-parlor magnolia facade all these women need to be made of steel in order to survive -- is tailor-made for cliches.
		TBN's Steel Magnolias is, among other things, further evidence that a thoughtful, committed production can pull magic out of a script that might otherwise seem a bit moist.

		Although Steel Magnolias was a Broadway hit, later adapted into a star-packed film, many Y-chromosome types may not have seen either version.
		Consisting of four scenes set over three years, Steel Magnolias chronicles the events of women who could be anyone's family or neighbors, whose problems could, and do, happen to everyday ordinary people.
		Although the feeling of being in the '80s wasn't fully achieved, it's still pleasantly surprising that a play so centered on small town life in the '80s should still prove so entertaining in a big city in the 21st century.

	Steel Magnolias Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		What sets Steel Magnolias apart are the dead-on female performances and the poignant, witty script Harling gives them to work with.
		When he sighs heavily toward the last third of the film and says, "again, to repeat myself," is when most viewers will give up on the whole affair — if they haven't already.
		Steel Magnolias' audio and subtitle choices are impressive with English available in 2-channel Dolby Surround and Spanish, Portuguese, and an isolated music score offered in Dolby Digital 2.0.

		One of the characters in Robert Harling's "Steel Magnolias" comments to a friend, "If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me," a tartly bitchy remark that promises ruthless, rapier wit.
		But the six Louisiana ladies who gab and gossip at a local beauty salon are about as malicious as marshmallows, and many of the cutting-edge lines from Harlings' 1987 Off Broadway hit and subsequent 1989 film version have lost their bite.
		She's the true "steel magnolia" of the story, devastated by a momentary diabetic attack and rigidly resisting the sympathy of five fluttering mother hens.

		The exclusive documentary is essentially a tribute to the memory of Susan Harling--the diabetic sister of Steel Magnolias playwright-screenwriter Robert Harling--whose death inspired both play and film.
		But for some reason, seeing "Steel Magnolias" when I did in New York all these many years ago, I had no fear.
		Shelby is based upon the story of Robert Harling's sister Susan Harling Robinson and was written in remberance of her for her son who was 2 years old at the time of her death in 1986 due to complication of diabetes and a kidney transplant (from her mother) which ultimately failed.

	Little Theatre's 'Steel Magnolias' a Southern Charmer (washingtonpost.com)
		It seems magnolias are blossoming everywhere this season -- the staged versions of "Steel Magnolias," that is. Robert Harling's popular tear-jerker about a group of Southern women dealing with friendship, life and loss in a beauty salon is the hottest play around.
		Of course, that cast needs to be composed of talented women (there are no male roles) and led by a director who has a keen grasp of pacing and ensemble dynamics.
		The chemistry between the actors feels genuine and their conversations flow naturally, whether the subject is gossip or life-and-death matters.
