I enjoyed Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias, but didn't see what the big deal was about YaYas. I bought it on DVD and plan on giving it away because I know I won't bother watching it again. I'm sure the book was better, but after seeing the movie first, I won't bother reading it.
I'm trying to think WHY I liked the first two movies I mentioned, but didn't care for YaYas... I think it's because I just never cared about the characters in this story. I liked the characters in the other movies. As for the actresses, I like ALL of them, including the ones in YaYas. So it wasn't a matter of not liking certain actresses.
