Better than I expected
To tell you the truth I wasn't all that excited to see the film, just excited to have a girl's night out. I was pleasantly surprized. Sandra Bullock was wearing makeup in a movie for a change and did a better acting job than usual. Ashley Judd, who I didnt' even realize was in the film, gave an Oscar-worthy performance (though I doubt she'll be recognized for it). I've always thought she was beautiful but never considered her a fantastic actress until now. Magie Smith is wonderful, as usual and all of the other old ladies are do a fantastic job. It was nice to have a movie about women that doesn't focus entirely on the joys of youth, maturity has it's advantages. The man who plays Bullock's fiancee made me swoon, so handsome, charming and that great Irish accent. The southern accents in the movie are fun and the southern landscapes are breathtaking. Definitely a chick flick and good for men who want to understand more of the complexities of women. Be prepared to cry and to think a lot about your relationship with your mother. I actually managed to get my husband to sit thru this one when it came out on DVD, which is a real feat.
3 1/2 stars.

An awesome movie
The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is an extreme movie. What I mean by that is that it is extremely funny and extremely sad.
The movie, starring a very loveable Sandra Bullock as Sidda, starts when Sidda is interviewed. Without meaning to insult her mother, Sidda says a lot of things about Vivi, her mother. When Vivi reads the article, she is so infuriated she won't speak to Sidda. This part of the movie is simply hilarious. The mother and daughter cut up all their pictures of each other and send them to each other. It culminates when Sidda invites her parents to her wedding. The invitation has the time, date, and place blocked out.
Finally, the Ya-Ya Sisterhood take things into their own wrinkled old hands. They take Sidda out to dinner and drug her. Then they adult-nap her.
The rest of the film is about Vivi's life at about Sidda's age. Although the movie seems like it would be about Sidda, I would have to say that the main character is Vivi.
This is the part that will make you sob. Vivi is depressed. She often leaves her home and stays away for weeks on end. She beats her multiple children outside in the rain when she cracks after a harrowing day with them. Then Vivi overdoses on drugs. She is taken to the hospital, where she is unable to even eat or drink herself.
The movie focuses on mother-daughter relationships. I love it, but be ready for a VERY emotional movie.

Mother daughter reunion.....................................
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!

The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood tells the story of how the Ya-Yas, try to fix the gap between mother and daughter, daughter and fiancee, and in doing so, lead to a greater, deeper level of understanding between all of them as well.

I highly recommend this movie for all mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends.

It's not just about that but its so much more having real friends who would go against you in order to help you! This is such a great movie.
