Customer Reviews of The Evening Star
Better Than TOE TERMS OF ENDEARMENT was a beautiful, touching movie, it was excellent. However I find THE EVENING STAR to be the better of the two. THE EVENING STAR focuses on the life of Aurora, after her daughter died. Having to deal with her daughter's children, and being mixed up in the lives of her enemy Patsy, as well as her maid and ex-lovers, it proves for interest plotline. The movie is just as compelling as TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, but it brings new elements which explore Aurora's life in a different light. The movie is full of smart comedy, as well as tearjerking scenes which will tug at your heartstrings. The story is written extremely well, and all the actors/actresses turned in an excellent performance. If you've seen TOE you must see this movie, its the perfect ending. If you haven't seen either, I suggest you purchase them. This is yet another excellent movie which you will love and want to watch all over again.
Star Bright
In The Evening Star, the sequel to 1983's Oscar-winning predecessor Terms of Endearment, Aurora (Shirley MacLaine) picks up where she left off.
The saga now continues with her dead daughter's beleaguered offspring, and Granny Aurora just ain't doing so well. Her heart is, as always, in the rightest of places. Every week she's in the state pen visiting Tommy (George Newbern), but he's content to toss her homemade brownies in the trash. Teddy (Mackenzie Astin) drives a tow truck and has a little brat of his own. Most belligerent is Melanie (Juliette Lewis). Like the others, she's still angry over her mother's death and more often than not takes it out by doing whatever she feels like, much to the chagrin of Aurora.
All these problems drive Aurora into the arms of Jerry (Bill Paxton), a much-younger therapist who, like Albert Brooks in Mother, has some kind of unresolved Oedipal conflict to work out. Their scenes together are cute and sexy.
The film's sentimentality is overshadowed by the pure spunk of MacLaine's portrayal. And her perennial nemesis Patsy (Miranda Richardson) more than keeps Aurora's blood pumping.
It's fun to see MacLaine in this role again. She imbues Aurora with a warmth and trueness that reminded me how much I had missed her. Even the third act cameo by Jack Nicholson as astronaut Garrett went down easy.
Perhaps best of all is Marion Ross (Yo, Mrs. C.!), who gives a lovely performance as Rosie, Aurora's maid.
WITTY AND EMOTIONAL
I really took a while to get into the film, but Shirley MacLaine's part made it for me. Her honest approach to all she met, couldn't help win her votes. She was a grandmother keeping her family together as best she could, yet when it all fell apart she still left the door of approach open for them all. You can relate to many in the film, if you are young and impetuous or older and denying your age or honestly facing it. A good film in my opinion.
A BIG REQUEST ......... my video cut out at the moment when Shirley is being driven in the back of "Bill Paxton's" (Jack Nicholson) car casting Rosie's ashes to the wind along the beach.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE ENDING????????
Waiting for a reply in anticipation
