    The problem with having a long over due sequel is that that most people stop caring for whatever happened to the characters. The next problem is that it will have to bare the brunt of being compared with the original which in this case is clearly miles apart. People who have work...( read more)ed for the first one should have been behind this effort not just the STARS, and mind you though miss Maclaine tried her at most best, she needed a lot of help from Ms. Lewis to make this even viewable. And by the way, where was JACK when the movie need him so much!

    Not even close to the calibur of Term of Endearment, but still great with some very memorable moments. I just love Aurora & all these characters...
