Being your child's best friend is better than being their parent because you can always ditch them for cooler friends.
Mind you, the mother and daughter duo in this dramedy is connected at the hip.
Overbearing Aurora (Shirley MacLaine) becomes even more domineering when her husband dies and she's left to raise Emma (Debra Winger) alone. While the pair share a special bound, when Emma's husband (Jeff Daniels) is relocated that bond is strained.
To cope with loneliness Aurora courts her neighbour (Jack Nicholson). But when Emma's health takes a dramatic turn she heads home to her mother.
James L. Brooks' seminal tearjerker, this Oscar winner based on Larry McMurtry's best-seller was an emotional powerhouse when it was released in 1983. However, overtime its weepy ending and its mother-daughter dynamic have lost some of their initial impact.
Incidentally, the one thing that always reunites daughters with mothers is bad husbands. Yellow Light
