beth henley award win play about family ( her favorite topic ) get a cheeky and somewhat condescend screen adaptation and with very little sensitivity or subtlety but a lot of southern brawling . the story concern three idiosyncratic sister and and the trio of fine actress in these role be almost pitilessly miscast . diane keaton be the spinsterish one ( though she too young for the part ) and jessica lange be the sultry one ( though she too old for the part ) and and sissy spacek be the troubled one ( though she too sane for the part ) . i can not think of one thing that look right and sound right and or go right in this picture . the production budget seem low and the script feel half baked . the whole thing leave me think and maybe steel magnolia wasn not so bad after all . half from .
