this be a black comedy and despite the famous cast and definitely not my cup of tea . the talent of the three famous actress be waste on this depressing bit of drivel . i prefer comedy of the heartwarming and romantic and light hearted and or zany school . the story revolve around three troubled sister in a southern town and who reunite when the young and babe ( rather a bizarre character ) and get herself in a jam after shoot her husband . the old sister and lenny and be an awkward spinster who have stay home throughout the year care for her father . the alcoholic and chain smoking middle sister and meg and leave home early in the hope of make it a a singer and actress in hollywood . there also a jealous and snoopy cousin and chick and who basically the villain of the piece . it have a stellar cast and especially it three lead lady in the role of the neurotic sister and who be all cop in their individual way follow the trauma of their mother suicide by hang . diane keaton play the shy and insecure and stammer spinsterish lenny and who feel herself inadequate to attract a man because of her inability to bear child ( due to shrink ovary ) . jessica lange be cast a the wild sister and meg and who hat her father and have have a string of failed relationship with men . include a current love interest and doc porter ( play by sam shepherd ) . sissy spacek be the kooky young sister and babe and who marry at a young age an abusive man . presumably well craft with great performance and but the tale of the personal demon trouble the three eccentric sister simply doesn not make for humour and a i see it . when babe shoot her husband and then go into the kitchen to make a pitcher of lemonade and and offer him a glass . well and it not something i find hilarious or entertain to watch . it set in the south and and for me the best part of the film be the wonderful old victorian family home where the sister reunite . otherwise and i will stick to the steel magnolia type when i feel like a movie interweave the tale of a group of woman .
