I love movies that make you laugh and cry. Until I saw this one, Steel Magnolias, was all of my families favorite movie. Not any more. I don't go to theatres often to see movies, I usually wait until they are out on DVD or for sale but I couldn't wait to see this one and went the first day it came out. I woke up the next day still thinking about it and would pay to see it again. I think all the actors in this movie deserve an award.
