Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (DVD)(2002)

After making incendiary remarks about mom Ellen Burstyn in a magazine interview, New York-based playwright Sandra Bullock is "kidnapped" by her mother's friends (Maggie Smith, Fionnula Flanagan, Shirley Knight) and taken back to her Louisiana homeland. The trio tells her about a secret club they formed in their youth and explain incidents in Burstyn's life in the hope of restoring the troubled mother-daughter relationship. Ashley Judd also stars in this compelling adaptation of Rebecca Wells' bestseller.
