Summary: Terms Of Endearment
Comment: This is a wonderful film. The acting, the characters, the story, the music, the writing, the film is wonderful. You feel for the characters, the story is interesting and realistic. I highly recommend this film.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Overrated to the extremus
Comment: I saw this movie in a theater in January of 1984, and if I never see it again for the rest of my life, I'll be a happy man. My loathing for this film knows no bounds. It's perhaps the most un-worthy film to ever be awarded the "Best Picture" Oscar, beating out much better candidates like "The Right Stuff" and "The Big Chill" that were nominated that year. As I was watching it, I kept saying to myself "When does this get better?" It never did, not once over its achingly long 131 minute running time. My former co-worker called this "the movie where the mother and daughter talk on the telephone all the time." Which it is. Throw in some infidelity and an incurable disease, and that summarizes this piece of garbage on celluloid. Avoid this movie at all costs.

Summary: Isn't that special.
Comment: 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.

Summary: A predictable tear jerker
Comment: 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.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Larry McMurtry's novel becomes a somewhat lumpy film as directed by James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets). Nevertheless, it is entirely winning, with Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger playing a combative mother and daughter who see each other through various ups and downs in love and loss, and most especially through a terminal illness endured by Winger's character. Jack Nicholson deservedly won an Oscar for his supporting role as a free-spirited astronaut who backs away from a romance with MacLaine and then returns in the clutch. As he always does, Brooks keeps things from getting too soapy with his intense concentration on the soulful evolution of his characters. --Tom Keogh
