Great movie! Clean and family friendly. That John Stamos is a fantastic actor. Wow, those tender scenes with him and his mother look so real. So glad this was available to see on YouTube.

Her line of "I'm a nurse Tom, nobody looks after me" really got me. Pretty much encapsulated my social and love life too.

No matter how many times I watch this movie, it's beautiful each time. The cast is magnificent and all the ladies are class acts. Della Reese is superb. Olympia Dukakis, as always is a wonderful talent and Liz Sheridan and Estelle Getty, all add warmth, humor and a touch of reality to a delightful and charming story. Thank you for posting this.

I accidentally stumbled upon this movie and I am so happy I did. What a beautiful little movie. Amazing acting by everyone, the characters were great, the storyline was wonderful and it was just a really nice feel good movie with beautiful scenery, even if it did have sad undertones.

I was saddened when Olympia passed. She was a great talent. God rest her soul. Roger Camp

Olympia Dukakis won an academy award for another film, and she should get an academy award for this film. She is a super star. John Stamos, likewise, is outstanding in this film as is Della Reese. I remember when my mother was dying. My sisters and I were were overwhelmed. We held hands around her hospital bed and prayed over her. She died peacefully. It's so difficult to lose a parent.

What a wonderful movie with a terrific cast, especialy Olympia Dukakis, and my namesake, John Stamos. I went through some tuff emotions while watching the cancer treatments. It brought back thoughts of my dad and the hard times we had , dealing with his illness

Its great to pick up a picture that wasn't a block buster and which frequently are actually boring. This was lovely and I'm pleased it is getting an airing.

The mother wakes up and says "did I die and go to heaven?" when she sees her best friend is beside her. That is so touching.

what a sweet movie; heartfelt genuine performance from all. Wise words from brother and housekeeper friend that the mother was preventing his relationships since he 'already had a wife' . A common issue not often addressed. Thanks for the upload

They don't make movies like this anymore. It was an absolute delight to watch. Olympia Dukakis and Della Reese were simply amazing in this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

G'day from Sydney Australia😊 Thank You for sharing a dramatic and funny based on a true story movie. The late Olympia Dukakis always excels in her portrayal as a loving friend and mother as she was outstanding. The late Della Reese also portrayed a great supporting friend and housekeeper being close to the family. John Stamos played a successful lawyer who is charming and loving as a brother and son. His performance was sheer brilliance and a natural with his acting talents from serious to funny scenes. Kelly Rowan played a hardworking nurse who was independent and unsure if she would fall in love. No offense to Michael Whitfield as he was cast to be the younger brother to Tom which John.Stamos is younger than him but they portrayed being brothers convincingly. Estelle Getty, Liz Sheridan and Renee Taylor were fabulous being close friends to Helen. This film was enjoyable and it warmed my heart and had moral values to take notice. I'm impressed how this was a made for tv movie. Definitely worth watching as it's just under 90 minutes. Rating 9/10 Monday 20/6/2022
