Sidda
Walker
(Sandra
Bullock),
who
is
high
on
life--about
to
marry
Connor
(Angus
MacFadyen)
and
flushed
with
success
because
her
new
play
is
about
to
open
on
Broadway--gives
an
unguarded
interview
to
TIME
Magazine.
After
reading
the
interview,
Sidda's
mother,
Vivi
(Ellen
Burnstein),
is
so
livid
that
she
disowns
Sidda,
takes
down
her
pictures,
and
refuses
to
attend
her
daughter's
wedding.
Trying
to
heal
the
rift
between
mother
and
daughter,
Vivi's
best
friends,
Caro
(Maggie
Smith),
Teensy
(Fionnula
Flanagan),
and
Necie
(Shirley
Knight),
go
to
New
York,
take
Sidda
to
dinner,
slip
her
a
Mickey
Finn,
and
spirit
her
off
to
Louisiana.
First-time
director
Callie
Khouri
(writer
of
THELMA
AND
LOUISE)
uses
an
intricate
series
of
flashbacks
to
slowly
reveal
the
DIVINE
SECRETS
OF
THE
YA-YA
SISTERHOOD,
which
is
based
on
the
book
by
Rebecca
Wells.
The
flashbacks
are
triggered
by a
scrapbook
that
Caro,
Teensy,
and
Necie
show
Sidda.
The
scrapbook
chronicles
the
hopes,
dreams
and
disappointments
that
they
shared
with
Vivi.
Standouts
in
the
great
cast
are
Ashley
Judd,
as
the
younger
Vivi,
and
Maggie
Smith
as
the
feisty
Caro.
