Synopsis
Part comedy and part tearjerker, an all-star cast brings alive this Academy Award-winner about the mother-daughter relationship of an aging widow and her daughter who is stricken with cancer. Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson took home acting Oscars, as did writer-director James L. Brooks ('As Good As It Gets').
