I cannot understand how this movie is 6.1 out of 10 on IMDb. It's worth an 8, as just a very accurate period piece, and for the soundtrack which is also a great period piece. Short of movies made in the period, it would be hard to find a film that better represents the role of (even upscale) American women in the 1950s.
Julia Roberts' performance was excellent, as was that of several of her students. If anything was lacking, it was the performances of just about all the men in the cast, who were uniformly lackluster.
My wife and I both found it very entertaining and something interesting to chat about...and we disagree about everything! LOL.
