MacLaine certainly did deserve Best Actress. Masterful. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This movie was such a joy to watch. Totally 80's ending, just kinda ends without a dramatic cap, but definately worth the rent. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I decided to rent this movie anyway since it won Best Picture in '83 thinking that it would be an okay chick flick. I watched it with my wife since I figured she'd at least enjoy it. As I watched the movie I got really engrossed in the characters and plot. The first thing that got my attention was the music... it's sounds 80s, but I must admit I really like the soundtrack, especially after you watch up to the tear jerking scenes. The music coupled by the death bed scenes could cause anyone to cry... I held back, but my wife was sobbing by the end of the movie. Give it a try if you haven't already. Excellent.

How is that heart-wrenching? I thought they were both disgusting as were most of the characters. I was hoping to see a movie filled with lovable characters. This movie could not have been farther from that idea at all. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreThis movie seemed average to me and I did not cry. But the scene with the mom saying goodbye to her kids is good. Acting was ok. Maybe it just seemed too dated to me and sometimes there was more overacting than acting.All in all if you cry easily and are bored watch it.Not a very deep movie but will do. But the other reviewers gave it very high rating, so maybe I am very picky??? Go watch it and decide for yourself. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
