Leave your thoughts about Terms of Endearment.
| Time OutDavid PirieThen The Illness strikes, and the film changes gear completely, pulling out all the stops and almost incidentally delivering one of the best-acted, most moving death-bed scenes in recent memory. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a wonderful film. There isn't a thing that I would change. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottNo film since Preston Sturges was a pup has so shrewdly appreciated the way the eccentric plays hide-and-seek with the respectable in the ordinary American landscape; no comedy since Annie Hall or Manhattan has so intelligently observed not just the way people live now but what's going on in the back of their minds; and finally, and in full knowledge that one may be doing the marketing department's job for them, it is the best movie of the year. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrLopsided comedy turned tearjerker, saved by excellent performances. |
| VarietyJames HarwoodBrooks' dialog is wonderful throughout and all the characters carry off their assignments beautifully, even down to Danny De Vito and Norman Bennett as MacLaine's other suffering suitors. |
| Common Sense MediaRandy WhiteGlossy, funny, and packs a real emotional wallop. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelTerms of Endearment is about three relationships and students of screenwriting would do well to study the way in which these three stories are told completely and effortlessly in a movie of average length. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonA cut above the typical chick flick, thanks to its heartfelt performances and genuine frankness. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickWhile some aspects of the film ... have not aged all that well, it still plays with sincerity and emotional resonance |
| Reno Gazette-JournalForrest HartmanWeepy and melodramatic, but still awfully good. |
