“I think it revealed all the intricacies and the diversity of women’s friendships.”

If you love it as much as we do, we have some great news.

See it all the way it was meant to be viewed, from the big screen.

You have two chances to head to a theater near you on May 5 and May 8.

Call your girls andcheck herefor the nearest participating location to you.

Its ladies night at the movie theater!

If youve somehow never seenSteel Magnolias, well no better time than now.

But allow us to give you the rundown.

And without a doubt, it is a distinctly Southern story.

I have to be careful if I still want to have friends.

She was so direct.

She didnt lie much about anything.

And thats true of me.

So I kinda looked into that side of me that is direct and basically open.

And we experienced that on the set.

We made very good friends that are still there for us.

And we can be sarcastic and also know that were there for each other always.

So I think thats something we long for in this culture.

I will always treasure being part of this film.

Each other were our family.

I think it’s possible for you to see that too on the screen.

The movements in between.

Its not like we didnt know each other that well.

We all knew each other well.
