Bette Midler is outstanding in her portrayal of Stella, a woman who knew what she knew and more importantly what she didn’t know about being a mother. In real life there are exceptional people who are poor parents and likewise people who are lacking in their personal lives who are exceptional parents. Stella was an unorthodox example of the latter group. In a poignant scene in which she and John Goodman were lying in bed with him “explaining” what marriage is all about Bette Midler, acting only with her eyes, clearly expressed what the whole movie was about. By recognizing her own shortcomings Stella was ultimately able to do what she had to do to give her daughter all she could give her and more. Whereas some may see some of what Stella did as a parent to be controversial, I contend she was a great mother. And whereas I tend to prefer Westerns and War Movies, this is one of the very best movies I have ever seen. If you like human interest stories and have any interest in parenting I strongly recommend that you watch it.Read full review

Nice throw-back of how life in the 80's/early 90's in NYC in particular used to be. Perfect memory lane for those who lament it, and lovely romantic story-line though not too sweet. Recommend!

I give it 0 stars. This was a copy not original. At some parts the picture would jump. It’s illegal to make copies of movies. I was very disappointed.
