Steel Magnolias : So So Acting
Re: So So Acting
When I read who her mother was, then it was obvious how she got the role. I wanted to believe her as Shelby but it was hard, she was so flat. She just didn't have the sweetness and innocence of Shelby. I also didn't see much chemistry with Queen Latifah, the two didn't come off as mother and daughter. The scene where she was having an attack came off as flat too, just a flat performance all around.
Annelle made me forget the part completely, a very poor performance there too. I really wanted to like this version, something different, but the whole thing was too rushed and too much miscasting.

I didn't like the actress who played Truvy...I know im comparing her to Dolly but she just didn't seem to deliver the lines right IMO...
Don't bother sweating over your bills, in the end we all wind up in the hole!

You really didn't get Annelle's dynamic in this one...they stated her transformation instead of relying on the acting and costuming. In the original you understood when it was her wild time vs. her uber religous side. Not too much depth with Annelle.
Queen did much better and Alfrie, in certain spots did amazing...In others it felt like they were focused too much on remembering the script vs. really letting their emotions through.
Good effort, but there are many actual talented black actresses that could have done a much better job at Shelby. It just felt like they tried too hard instead of really acting...Nothing compares to the original.
