"Steel Magnolias" or Six Southern Belles, in my words, is based on a 1987 play by Robert

Harling and is about six Southern women who become friends despite their widely
different lives and interests. They take weekly meetings in a local beauty parlor and seem
to be having a lot of fun and sisterly love. It would tug at your heart as one of these loyal

friends, Shelby, and her husband, Jackson, are given the gift of parenthood. When
Jackson Jr, their son, is around one year old this young Mother's life is taken by

complications from her treatment for her kidney illness and you will cry for the loss of
both her family of friends and her husband and child. But at the birth of another child
you are reminded of the beauty, mystery and joy of the circle of life. This is a must see

movie for a girl's night out as long as you have a box of tissues and a heart ready to be
reminded that each day, each person and each friend is a gift. So, if you plan on watching

this movie remember no matter where you live, North or South, with your best friend by
your side you can be as strong as steel or as gentle as a magnolia.
