Rating:  - overrated and overacted
I missed this movie when it first came out and now I just can't understand what the hype is about. Aside from Debra Winger's excellent performance and uncanny resemblance to the lovely and talented Zooey Deschanel, it was difficult to see what the point was. The story had no real shape, the characters were a collection of tics, and it's horrifying that those children end up with a narcissistic monster.
Rating:  - love this movie!
reminds me of somewhat of my life.
a great movie.
Rating:  - Another classic!
I see everyone of Shirley MacLaine's movies and collect them all. They are wonderful!
Rating: - a good throw back chick film
A must see!
A very interesting mother, daughter relationship.If fact there are many interesting relationships going on in this movie. This one is worth having in your movie collection so that you can watch it again and again. Each time you will learn more about the human relationships going on in this movie. Some of them you will like, others you will not.
Rating: - Heart-warming, sad, and humorous in some parts
"Terms of Endearment" is about a middle-aged, well-to-do woman, who has lost her husband and raises her daughter by herself.
The middle-aged, well-to-do woman is played by Shirley MacLaine, who has recently lost her husband. Shirley Maclaine's character is called "Aurora" and her daughter, played by Debra Winger is named "Melaine."
The show begins by briefly focusing on "Melanie's" childhood, which includes the death of her father, and then proceeds to her young adult years. "Melanie" lives with her mother and decides to get married to a professor played by Jeff Daniels, whose character is named "Flap Horton."
The mother, "Aurora" is completely against "Melanie" getting married because she thinks she's making a mistake. It is either because she's too young, or "Aurora" doesn't think "Flap," an English professor is successful enough to care for her daughter.
Ultimately, she gets married and they have children and it focuses mainly on how the two mother-daughter relationship is affected by her getting married.
It's definitely a heart-warming and sad film. It's definitely a drama without humor.
