 Isn't that special. February 22, 2008
Terms of Endearment starring Shirley MacLaine is considered a tearjerker and wonderful epic but I hate to say that statement isn't what I think as well. Although MacLaine's performace is almost flawless, it's Debra Winger who has an unlikable and disconnected performance, I can't stand to watch her in this movie, she makes it unbearable to feel sympathy for her. The relationship between mother and daughter is strained and even though they fight, in the end they do deeply love each other. This movie has a lot of uneven moments, it's too long and cliched. People love this movie but for me, it's just ok.

This movie grated on my nerves at times, but for the most part, I liked it and found it moving. If you like a good cry, watch this film.

James L. Brooks's poignant "Endearment" makes us laugh and cry in roughly equal measure. MacLaine netted a richly deserved Oscar playing Aurora, and Winger holds her own as long-suffering Emma. In truth, their onscreen chemistry helps obscure the fact that the two actresses look nothing alike. Supporting the female stars are Danny DeVito, Jeff Daniels, and Jack Nicholson, stealing every scene he's in as a hard-drinking, womanizing former astronaut.
AHEAD OF ITS TIME March 29, 2007

This 1983 release was ahead of its time. It most definitely has a message for today's society. I did not so much GET it over twenty years ago when viewing it in the theater as I did when watching it on the DVD as a middle aged movie buff. Shirley MacLaine plays a somewhat flighty but still most desirable middle aged woman whose conflict with her sweet if not naive daughter, played by Debra Winger, is sometimes stormy but always loving. Jack Nicholson, as the next door neighbor, is outstanding as always and is a sleezy womanizing former astronaut who befriends Ms. MacLaine but by movie's end it is clear he loves her and is perhaps a changed man. A younger Jeff Daniels is convincing as Winger's cheating husband as is John Lithgow as the man taken with her innocent charms. This movie will make you laugh and cry and the musical score is one you will never forget. All serious movie buffs should have a copy of this.
