Showered with Oscars (it won five, and was nominated for a further seven), this is American mainstream movie-making at its best. Director James L Brooks (Broadcast News) succeeds in keeping sticky sentiment largely at bay in this story (based on Last Picture Show writer Larry McMurtry's novel) of the often strained mother-daughter relationship between Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Jack Nicholson delivers one of his effortless scene-stealing supporting roles, and other familiar faces include Danny DeVito, Jeff Daniels and John Lithgow.

This shapeless film is little more than an excuse for actors and writer to show off, which they do to great excess; but parts of it are entertaining enough and it certainly impressed the Academy Award committee.

An entertaining film
A pleasant film which I had seen shortly after its release but which I had forgotten did not consist mainly of Jack Nicholson playing his usual girl-chasing bachelor living next door to widowed Shirley Mclaine. There are one or two comical scenes but the film does catch the tempestuous relationships between mother, daughter and her husband and their children.
Worth viewing. -
