Terms of Endearment (1983)

Wow, what an emotional film. An all-star 80's cast with Shirley MacLaine, Debra Winger, Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Jeff Daniels [Dumb & Dumber], and John Lithgow ["3rd Rock from the Sun"]. This film is a mother/daughter film, following the life of the daughter and her relationship with her mother and subsequently both of their relationships with men.

Winger is the daughter and marries Daniels. MacLaine is the mother and neighbors with Nicholson (a retired astronaut and womanizer). It is hard to not tell you much about the film. Let's just say neither one of them have stable relationships with the men in their lives and this is a film about how they are always there for each other.

This film won the Oscar for best picture and also the Golden Globe for best Dramatic Film. Therefore I would call it a weak year for the Oscars. Definitely a film you would see on Lifetime Channel, and not a keep for single men. Overall just average because I like to think that I wasn't the target audience.

Vote: 6/10
