This emotion-filled story stars Whoopi Goldberg, Mary-Louise Parker, and Drew Barrymore as three women from different walks of life who find comfort in each other through tragedy.

The three women are so spirited and funny -- so emotionally keyed into all the hearts and flowers -- that they give the movie their own kind of truth.
The entire film feels like the result of a market study.
Roos and Ross (and I promise never to put those names together again) are so busy jerking the audience from wacky to teary, and back again, they seem blithely unaware of the howling melodrama of it all.
An engagingly acted, likable, fried green Thelma & Louise.
It's an original, and what it does best is show how strangers can become friends, and friends can become like family.
It's decent mass consumption entertainment, but there's not much in the way of meat.

A bit soapy, yes, but it's high quality soap.
Total chick-flick -- but quite a bit better than it looks.
Meddles uneasily between comedy, romance and thrills
Touching drama about some idiosyncratic people who must learn how to help and be helped by those who cherish them.
One of those "chick flicks" that actually tries to wedge some sincerity into the equation.
This is a movie I have watched many times over the years and have owned in more than one format (VHS, laserdisc and now DVD... and frankly the transfer on the DVD is so crappy if it comes out on blu here, I am all over it!), so that gives you some idea how much I love it and how biased this review is going to be!
