I thought it was an excellent movie

Not all movies are perfect. This was a perfect chic flick and I absolutely love it! Wish it was out on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched it on Lifetime last summer and just simply couldn't get it out of my head. The realationships and hard times these women have were enough to make me cry!
