Unfortunately, a good cry is often confused with a good film, and with each sob we forgive and forget lack of plot, superficial character development, unconvincing relationships.

In his directorial debut, Brooks proves himself a master with actors.

People Magazine
[Writer-director James L. Brooks] has television in his soul: his people are incredibly tiny (most are defined by a single stroke of obsessive behavior), and he chokes out his narrative in ten-minute chunks, separated by aching lacunae.

Chicago Reader
...Enormously enjoyable....Brooks' dialog is wonderful throughout and all the characters carry off their assignments beautifully...
Variety
If there were at least one woman in the film who found satisfaction in work of any kind, we might be reassured that this is... not a subtle arrow pointing us back in the direction of the bedroom and the nursery.

Sojourner
...A funny, touching, beautifully acted film....Enormously appealing, thanks to the bright, witty, larger-than-life performances that James Brooks has elicited from his stars...
New York Times
Rating: 4/4 --
Terms of Endearment is about three relationships and students of screenwriting would do well to study the way in which these three stories are told completely and effortlessly in a movie of average length.

Product Description:
This Oscar-winning film is both eccentrically funny and an old-fashioned tearjerker. The story centers around the volatile relationship between a mother and daughter spanning 30 years. The various permutations of their lives are examined, including the daughter's bout with terminal cancer. TERMS OF ENDEARMENT is a deeply observed drama about the intimate relationship between a mother and daughter, based on the novel by Larry McMurtry. Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger are at their absolute best, with terrific support from Jack Nicholson, Jeff Daniels, and John Lithgow. Academy Award Nominations: 11, including Best Actress--Debra Winger and Best Supporting Actor--John Lithgow. Academy Awards: 5, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress--Shirley MacLaine, Best (Adapted) Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor--Jack Nicholson.
