In a small Louisiana town, the local beauty salon is the gathering place for six women whose friendships carry them through weddings, family squabbles, new beginnings, and devastating loss. Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, and Julia Roberts lead an extraordinary ensemble in this beloved adaptation of Robert Harling’s play.

“Dolly Parton…is one of the sunniest and most natural of actresses.” — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“Shamelessly entertaining.” — Rolling Stone
