term of endearment be engrained in my brain . i know the entire movie by heart and text and all . i do not know how many time i have see it but suffice to say it plenty . so when the opportunity to see the sequel arose and i must admit i be curious and hopeful . however and after ten minute watch this become an ordeal . maclaine bring none of aurora charm to this outing and all the actor around her be just a flat . a scene on an airplane between aurora and patsy ( miranda richardson and inexplicably ) be a total embarrassment and i can not believe maclaine allow it . marion ross a the housekeeper seem to be channel agnes moorehead in hush and hush and sweet charlotte and and not very well and at that . there be a moment between nicholson and maclaine that suggest the magic of term and but that only one moment . the movie have value a ben johnson last appearance and but little else .
