this film is rubbish

this film is very boring and doesn't even have a good plot!

This is a timeless film about the interaction between mother and daughter. The two women are fabulous as constantly warring, but always affectionate, mother and daughter, and Jack Nicholson is brilliant as the lothario next door neighbour.

If you are a woman, watch this and aspects of you and your own mother will jump out at you. If you are man, you will see that no matter how difficult she can be, why you never ever slate your mother in law to your wife!

I laughed, I cried, by the end of this film you will be an emotional wreck!

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.

A quiet little film that just keeps creeping up on you. Maclaine, Nicholson and Winger give probably some of their best performances ever. Maclaine as a neurotic mother to Winger, with the retired womanising astronaut Nicholson as next door neighbour. Slow to start but stick with it, and you'll remember this one for a long time to come.

The mother and daughter relationship is so intense, to watch this film would warm anybodys heart.

Classic sums it up. I'm not a fan of sentimental chick-flick weepies, and Best Picture Oscar winners usually induce either sleep or vomitting, but this just reeks of class. The dialogue is superb, and Jack lifts the film to another level. While the characters never really develop past their two-dimensional thumbnail sketches, this is still probably the best film of its kind. See it now!

Fantastic!

Laughs, romance and tears what more can you expect from the brill cast. I had seen this before years ago, now I'm a little older I appreciated it a lot more.

Have to go and buy it now!

A moving humourous weepy tragi-romance involving, life, birth, seperation and death. The first piece of work from James L. Brooks deservedly won the Best Picture Oscar winner for 1983, a highly enjoyable very good film.

Classic

Brilliant cast, first class acting, ok story.

Ahhhh!

Not exactly an intellectual knockout, but heck, who needs intellectual all the time!

Just the one for a Sunday afternoon in front of the fire, with a big box of tissues. Shirley Maclaine was particularly impressive, and grew in her character.
