Normally I wouldn't associate myself with a chick-flick, plus I heard this was a real tearjerker, and I'm not one to cry at movies (except "I Am Sam") but it won Best Picture so I had to see it. I was pleasently surprised, the acting was absolutely fantastic, and all together it was fairly good...and I filled up.

What Parents Need to Know
About Terms of Endearment
Parents need to know that this movie delivers quite an emotional wallop. Also, there's quite a lot of sexual activity in this movie, although nothing is shown. Characters talk about sex often; one frank exchange concerns the noises people make during love-making. The movie also features a strong, if contentious, mother-daughter relationship.
