When grace (julia roberts) finds out her husband (dennis quaid) has been messing around, she is devastated. Her family and friends all tell her to get past it, but she doesn't want to get past it. So she spills the beans at the women's club meeting about all the juicy town gossip. Her sister, played by kyra sedgwick, is the only one one her side. She also gets all the best lines! She and duvall steal the show. Grace's parents are played by robert duvall and gena rowlands, both old pros. Its got a few flaws. The daughter is gone for most of the film. I hope the sister or grace's parentals are watching her! The daughter's accent comes and goes. Looks like she only worked on two films. And it's not made clear how much grace's mom knew about the troubles in her own marriage. It's mostly good. Directed by lass hallstrom. Also did cider house rules and gilbert grape. He was nominated for three oscars. Story by callie khouri.... she won the oscar for writing thelma and louise.
