I thought this movie was heartwarming and moving;Aurora(MacLaine),has some strain in the relationship with her daughter Emma(Winger).Emma is married to Flap(Daniels), and they have two sons together.I... t is sweet to see how a family deals with crisis.Emma gets ill and doctors try to help her.During her daughter's illness,Aurora meets Garrett(Nicholson),who seems amorous and really honest.This fellow tries to be a shoulder for Aurora,when trouble arises.I thought the movie was wonderful, and loved the performances by Nicholson,Daniels and Winger. Bravo! Full Review
