The picture is about gender politics and a legacy of communal repression that is itself too embarrassed to port over a nearly-platonic-anyway love story between two women.

An enjoyable if sentimental chic flick that sanitizes Flagg's novel in two major respects, glossing over the lesbian relationship between Mary Louise Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson and underplaying the blatant racism in the trail of a black man.

There's just enough human feeling here to make it transcend the feel--good chick-flick genre.

A wonderful cinematic valentine to the life-enhancing and soul-stirring powers of friendship.

Bates and Tandy shine in what is essentially an extended flashback with the occasional present day bookends.
