CHICK FLICK! The movie is fun and Ashley Judd is perfectly cast but the book is 65% better. If you want the whole story you really need to read the book. AFTER you see the movie. I read the book, saw the movie but it is the AUDIO that wins the best format of this story. The story will transport you to another place- the Deep South and to life of being a close-knit group of girls that have grown into old women. If you have life long friends you will love this story because it will remind you of the days spent with girlfriends just experiencing life as it comes. It is also the story of a New York girl Sidda Lee Walker, who at 39 is a creative theatrical director. Sidda prides herself on having escaped her Louisiana hometown and her mother Vivi Abbot Walker. The story weaves the reader through a journey that Sidda is about to find out that her mom is not just a drunk or a close minded Southern witch in a Sunday hat, but a decent woman with a wild and brave history. The interesting twist about Vivi Abbot Walker is that she is also a woman with something greater than most people on the planet. Vivi has held a friendship with three other women that have lasted since they were in the third grade. This was called the YA-YA sisterhood. This dual plot of the past and the present is what makes this a well told story that will have you guessing. RICH CHICKS specializes in media that is purchased by women.

Such a great movie. Perfect for all families, but especially touching for mothers and daughters. An exceptional tale of love, pain, friendship and loss. The cast was inspired with Sandra Bullock, Ellen Burstyn and Ashley Judd with the meatiest roles. Heartwarming with strong, southern roots, a must see!

This should have been a miniseries...This movie skimmed the original story. The result was poor character development. It is a story about the complicated relationships between mother & daughter .
