Editorial Review:
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
The story of a mother and daughter and their relationship over a thirty-year time span.

Rating: - Still a good film TERRIBLE DVD PACKAGE
I have always enjoyed this film.
What made the film for me were the characters & performance BOTHER OSCAR WINNERS FOR Shirley as Aurora & Jack as Garrett.
Winger & Daniels characters I just hated. Why did she stay with him after the cheating? His cheating made it OK for her to cheat with John Lithgow's character? 2 wrongs do NOT make a right.
The oldest son Tommy. It took till near the end with him walking out of the hospital with his grandmother ... Read More
Rating:  - a sentimental movie
I generally leave this type of tear-jerker to my mother, and I honestly had no real desire to ever watch it. So, when I was roped into seeing this film and found myself actually caring about what happens to the characters, I was pleasantly surprised. The performances, especially Shirley MacLaine's, are very emotionally charged, yet believable. I found myself really liking and really disliking each character in turn, but that's what makes them real. The plot bounces right along and the film is all-together ... Read More
Rating: - A Film of Joy, Tragedy and Hope.
One of the top grossing films of 1983, including sweeping away 5 Oscars, Terms of Endearment, not only is a heart-felt relationship between a sensitive and compassionate daughter (Debra Winger) and her over bearing mother, (Shirley MacLaine) but also what it means to get caught-up in the day to day: and faced with the really tough things in life like seeing one's child go through unnecessary torment and hardship- but most of all, the film shows us about living in the moment, having fun in the moment, because ...

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.
Rating:  - Overrated to the extremus
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 ... Read More
