Product Description

Amazon.com essential video
Larry McMurtry's novel becomes a somewhat lumpy film as directed by James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets). Nevertheless, it is entirely winning, with Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger playing a combative mother and daughter who see each other through various ups and downs in love and loss, and most especially through a terminal illness endured by Winger's character. Jack Nicholson deservedly won an Oscar for his supporting role as a free-spirited astronaut who backs away from a romance with MacLaine and then returns in the clutch. As he always does, Brooks keeps things from getting too soapy with his intense concentration on the soulful evolution of his characters. --Tom Keogh

 Weepiest chick flick ever May 31, 2009
Roger J. Buffington (Huntington Beach, CA United States)

This is the ultimate weepy chick flick. I have always disliked Debora Winger, and this flick is most of the reason. Even Jack Nicholson could not save this bomb. Despite what amounts to an all-star cast, this one is destined to live in infamy. This is a terrible movie.
A gal I was dating dragged me to this flick decades ago. I never forgave her and rightly not. The only movie I've ever seen that was worse than this one was "Yentl" which the same woman inveigled me into seeing. A worse bomb than Yentl has never graced the Silver Screen, but TOD comes close enough. Ghastly.
 A Classic May 6, 2009
Jeffrey Stone
What can you say...This is a classic. Buy it with the second chapter, "The Evening Star" And you have 4 hours of laughter and tears. Do yourself a favor and buy both, you wont be sorry.

This one was a real tear jerker. But in order to get to the tears, we had to get to really know the characters and like them.
James L Brooks' screenplay did just that. Based on the wonderful novel by Larry McMurtry, the screenplay condensed it for the screen and Mr Brooks' direction delivered it beautifully to the screen.
A lifelong relationship between a mother and her daughter is depicted.
Giving us their great talents as actors are Shirley MacLaine as Aurora, Debra Winger as her daughter, Jack Nicholson, as Aurora's neighbor boyfriend, Jeff Daniels and John Lithgow.
The direction, the music, the photography were all perfect.
