If you loved The Secret of My Success, try Steel Magnolias
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What Steel Magnolias is
The briefest synopsis might call this "a film". Truvy's beauty parlor in Louisiana is the go-to spot, where a group of women gab as they get their hair done. It is indeed based on a play.
