The Evening Star
A story about friends, family and other natural disasters.
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.

This sequel should not have been made..... - Cricri7
The evening star is the sequel to Terms of Endearment, which was one of the best movies ever made. All the planets were aligned when this movie was made but this is not the case with Evening star. They probably had financing based on the sequel part and that the movie could not be anything but a success...sadly, this is not the case. You are supposed to care for a family that existed in the other movie but the dialogues are very bad. Even though Shirley McLaine is an incredible actress, she can't save this poor sequel.Half and half - Poet
This movie was really half bad, half good.
The first part of the movie was boring. The acting seemed forced and uninspired. There didn't seem to be any chemistry between the actors.
After that, business started to pick up and, by the end, it was quite decent.
The best part was, without a doubt, the reunion of Aurora Greenway (Shirley Maclaine) and Garrett Breedlove (Jack Nicholson). These two had great chemistry together and it showed. It saved this movie from being absolutely horrible.
