    Really sad movie, but I love it. I've seen it a number of times.

    Susan is a terminally ill mother with two kids and an ex-husband who has met a young Julia. Such a tear jerker. Rivalry then respect.

    Never fails to make me cry. The first time I saw this I actually really disliked it. But now that I've seen it 100+ times I can't get enough. Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon are both great. This is a moving drama that is certainly worth seeing (although it may be targeted mo...( read more)re at a female audience)

    It was such a good movie. It pissed me off in some parts and it also made me cry. But, then again, there were some funny parts in it and one romantic part. I've seen it so many times and love watching it.
