I couldn't watch this movie all of the way through the first time because it hit too close to home. Insightful. Dramatic. Be prepared to have some emotions come up if you are that type of person. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

It was a sweet, warm movie. There were serious themes, but they were treated with respect, and were not overdone. The movie takes us on mother and daughter's journey to reach an understanding of each other, and it is done with a warm, funny, mostly light-hearted touch. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, and I remembered my own mother fondly.
The best way to sum this movie up is to say it's really just like life--there are sad times, but there are also good, wonderful times we wouldn't want to miss. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Both my husbanf and I liked this movie a lot, though he did say it was a "chick-flick". It was a delight! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreI enjoyed this movie. This was funny, sad, moving and revealing. Ashley Judd and Ellen Burstyn were wonderful playing the same character at different ages. Sandra Bullock mimicked their charateristics. You can relate to this movie when looking back on incidents in your life and begin to wonder why you have developed certain traits. This was my second time watching this movie and I am not a big fan of Sandra Bullock. After hearing the comments about how nice and caring she is in real life, I am having second thoughts about her. Good girlfriends night to watch movie. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

There was maybe one or two good scenes, but it was badly laid out and the acting wasn't very good. It tries to tug at your heartstrings and just falls flat. The actors are all so good. I'm not sure what happened... Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood was an ok movie BUT I'm sure glad that I read the book first. This was a very loose interpretation of the book. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

The only reason I gave this movie a star is because Ashley Judd takes her shirt off. Otherwise, the movie was awful. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

The relationship she has with her mother can be related to alot of other peoples lives. We all know how some mothers can be so controling and we still hate to disappoint them but we love them with all our heart. The older ladies are well established actresses who put up with their friends' strange behavior. Ashley Judd did a great job portraying Sandra Bullocks young mother.
