Synopsis

She's back- and as delightfully feisty as ever! Aurora Greenway (Shirley MacLaine, reprising the role that won her the 1983 Best Actress Academy Award.) returns in an acclaimed continuation of the much-loved saga that began with the 1983 Best Picture Oscar-winner Terms of Endearment. The generations grow, but life still spins around Aurora like a cyclone: her rebellious granddaughter (Juliette Lewis) wants to run off with Mr. Wrong; a snooty rival (Miranda Richardson) has come up with new ways to meddle in Aurora's life; her longtime spinster housekeeper (Marion Ross) is ready to ditch domestic work for the domestic bliss of matrimony; her great-grandson is like a poison pill; and her shrink (Bill Paxton) is more than eager to cross the line separating client relationships and romantic entanglement. Welcome back, Aurora. We've missed you.
