Oh momma! In a Louisiana parish, Shelby Eatenton (Julia Roberts) is getting married and, soon enough, getting pregnant. But this great news comes with considerable risk, due to her type 1 diabetes. Shelby’s mother M’Lynn (Sally Field) is terrified of losing her. Fortunately they have an extensive support group ready to offer advice, hugs and wisecracks: Louisa, Truvy, Annelle, Clairee (Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis). If you’re still keening for Victoria Ratliff, this bevy of southern belles should be a boost.
