- Johnny Craw is "meh" onSteel Magnolias
I already knew the basic story and that ended up being the whole movie. Just a bunch of Southern ladies talking drama and doing hair

- Richie lovedSteel Magnolias
This movie will rip your heart out and stomp on it, I sobbed the entire time but it’s such a good portrayal of grief and every day life after your lose a loved one.
Hylas likedSteel MagnoliasI’ve seen this movie before, a long time ago I thought this was a movie about Sally Fields character but later realized it was about the friendship of the ladies in the movie. It’s about the things we go through with our friends and family. The ups and the downs. Tragedy happens and you might…
Finja lovedSteel MagnoliasI've heard great things about this movie and was quite disappointed, when I startet it because it looked like just some women gossiping. But in the end it really catched me in such an unexpected way and it felt like the characters had grown close to me without even noticing
- CvptvinHowdy lovedSteel Magnolias
You know, at first I wasn't sure if I was going to like this, plus I've heard in the past to expect something devastating. Well, even with expecting something devastating to happen, it still hit very hard. All of the performances are great, even the comedic relief parts.
Bennie likedSteel MagnoliasSeeing Dolly Parton on screen for the first time was such a joy. You see these women’s lives through the cycles of life, including death and birth. It’s not anything profound, but it’s a feel good and nostalgic movie. Might even make you cry. 6.5
Josef Leight lovedSteel MagnoliasAs man I’ll never fully understand and appreciate the message of being a strong woman but still I can appreciate the fact that is portrayed real life struggle so well. And I reminds me of my mom and aunts

Metacritic
The densely populated movie, pumped up with unnecessary crowd scenes and a handful of utterly extraneous male characters, is as garish and busy as a TV game show. As directed by Herbert Ross, it is so intent on persuading the audience that it is having a heartwarming emotional experience you almost expect TelePrompTers to flash in the theater, instructing you to laugh and cry. [27 Nov 1989, p.92]
David Ansen
Newsweek
Everything Terms of Endearment's detractors accused Terms of being: a synthetic, manipulative tragi-comedy with performances more appropriate to a proscenium arch - or to a drag show - than to the wide screen. And yet, there are moments in the movie of high comedy and sequences of searing truth. At its worst, Steel Magnolias is vastly inferior to Designing Women; at its best, it brings to mind (but never equals) Tennessee Williams. [20 Nov 1989]
Jay Scott
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The principal pleasure of the movie is in the ensemble work of the actresses, as they trade one-liners and zingers and stick together and dish the dirt. Steel Magnolias is willing to sacrifice its over-all impact for individual moments of humor, and while that leaves us without much to take home, you've got to hand it to them: The moments work.
