Critics Consensus: Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is more melodramatic than emotionally truthful, and uneven in its mixture of time periods, actresses, laughter and tears.

While there are pleasures to be had from watching so many grand actresses strut their stuff, the fact is that the overriding preoccupation here rests with surface impressions rather than psychological probity.
Better make the most of the first ten minutes of this execrable melodrama (directed by the scriptwriter of Thelma & Louise), because from then on it's the yackety-yack sisterhood in spades.
Gives us a lot to enjoy and something most studio movies don't even try for: an attempt at the richness, density and sheer contrariness of life.
As 'chick flicks' go, this one is pretty miserable, resorting to string-pulling rather than legitimate character development and intelligent plotting.
Khouri manages, with terrific flair, to keep the extremes of screwball farce and blood-curdling family intensity on one continuum.
Not one character in this ovarian jungle is particularly likable.
Chick flick for mom; teens may not enjoy it.
Sandra Bullock is great as Siddalee Walker, the angry and disgruntled woman who has a cross to bear with her mother and often exhibits the corky odd traits her mother does.
I heard something in the audience for Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood I don't hear often any more: the sound of middle-aged women laughing.
...if you plan on having a man watch this film with you, do him a favor...and don't.
Seeing the film, my initial, gut perception of those who form real life Ya-Ya Sisterhoods stands: these are women with way too much time on their hands.
There are some truly great actresses in this movie, but nearly all of them are wasted playing caricatures.
this was a waste of time. it was well acted, but it was one of the slowest moving films i have ever seen.
Super Reviewer
Very good movie. The costumes were very realistic, the acting was awesome, and it truly felt like it captured friendship.
Jumbled movie about people you have a hard time liking.
All female cast stars are fabulous and funny.
