But I think that a lot of actresses would have been better than Queen Latifah. Magnolias, delicate flowers. Steel is tough. But I could see how you may not have gotten that from this version.
The original is much better at actually laying out the lives of the women in the film. I concurrent with the reviews already posted. I had seen the original SM many timres and was so looking forward to the lifetime TV movies. My daughter and I had planned a month in advanced to clear our schedules to watch the movie together.
I watched the entire movie, but after about 45 minutes my daugther stopped watching it. We were disappointed. It was not good at all. It left so much to be desired. I loved it!!! It was an all-star cast and everyone did there thing.. I am soo Proud of them all. I wish there was more.. I like the original SM a lot better. This was ok. It gave me something to look at with my friends.
But, they left out a lot of good parts Ouiser and Clairee in the locker room for example among other memorable funny moments. I saw the original many times and love it and now I love this rendition as well. In seeing the interviews with the cast, the director loved the original as well and thought an all black female cast would be wonderful, simply put. And why not?
I was looking fOrward to a wonderful remake, but I was not plrased. The stars are great on their own merits, but they did not make thiS their movie. They just repeated memorized lines. Ouizer was the only one who resembled the original movie.
It was inside somewhere. I just did not feel that the stars portrayed their parts wiTh eny enthusiasm! I was definately disappointed! A shame…. Maybe because we already knew what going to happen. I just would like to say that the purpose of the movie is to give our African American Women something positive to watch. It was just a remake of the original movie. I do not believe it was made to actually change of falsify anything. She expounded on a few things, but if she strayed away from the movie and added different plots then our viewers would have to complain about that.
I believe the movie was nice. It was refreshing to see something positive for a change. Go Queen. Newbie, My sentiments exactly. I enjoyed it and thought Queen Latifah was amazing. I was hoping to see exactly what made me love the original so much. Why on Earth do we need to have a movie for black audiences?
What difference does it make? I could care less if purple people are in the movie. Unless you are implying that you are a walking stereotype and therefore have to behave to fit those black stereotypes. I like a good story, good acting, and film that speaks to me.
Be more than your skin tone ladies. My husband and i thought both movies were excellent. We enjoyed the remake just as much as the original. What determines a remake? A completely different script? Then folks will complain about the movie being too different. Besides, this is a TV remake of an original motion picture.
This remake reminded me of a high school production. Neither Queen Latifah or the daughter of Phylicia Rashad were any where near the level they needed to be to pull those roles off. Really really bad choices by the casting directors. Watch options.
Storyline Edit. In this contemporary re-imagining of the beloved classic film, Steel Magnolias chronicles the extraordinary friendship of six remarkable Southern Women, there for each other through life's triumphs and tragedies. Not Rated. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. User reviews 50 Review. Top review. Only the US separates the audience in racial groups. People relate to others by sharing similar experiences and shared emotions. But apparently in the US there is such a big racial difference that the actors have to be Af.
American in the SAME story to entice the market of af. Hopelessly condescending and bias. Women all over the world just loved the original regardless of the mid-west whiteness of the cast at the time. My European, Turkish, African friends loved it as much as my Asian coworkers and my Moroccan neighbour. This is just plain stupid since the whole movie doesn't contribute anything, it's not creatively adjusted to this age, no special differences in character.
It's a money grab with ridiculous racial bias. MdlndeHond Jun 4, Details Edit. Release date October 7, United States. United States.
