DESCRIPTION
The story of a mother and daughter and their relationship over a thirty-year time span. Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: PG Release Date: 29-DEC-2004 Media Type: DVD
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
