For all its violations of good taste and critical criteria, I laugh and cry every time, and I'll never let it go. So sue me.

"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.

Field does some spectacular underplaying through the bulk of the action, revealing layer after layer of the feelings of this kindly tempered, deeply worried mother.

This is a little too dependent on sassy one-liners and is awash with sentiment by the end, but is still wonderful entertainment.

''Steel Magnolias'' is pop entertainment of an especially condescending, superficial sort.

Steel Magnolias is so immersed by the conviction of its story that in a way it becomes an extension of our own human experience.

Ross gets generally strong performances from his ensemble, and an especially good one from Field in a role that really doesn't suit her.

Watching Herbert Ross's "Steel Magnolias," you feel as if you have been airlifted onto some horrible planet of female impersonators.

Three-hanky special, but with lots of laughs, too.

A good film for the soft-hearted more than the paean to womanly strength that was its motive.

It makes a shameless bid for your heart, aiming to have you smiling one moment, sniffling the next.
