DVD Description
Academy Award nominees Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction, Best Actress in a Leading Role - 1988) and James Woods (Salvador, Best Actor in a Leading Role - 1986) are Michael and Linda Spector, a mature, successful couple who have everything it takes to be parents ... except a baby. Mary Stuart Masterson (Fried Green Tomatoes) and Kevin Dillon (True Crime, Midnight Clear) are Lucy and Sam, a teenage couple who have a baby on the way ... but aren't ready to be parents. Director Jonathan Kaplan (Heart Like a Wheel) and screenwriter Barbara Benedek (The Big Chill) mix laughter and tears in this funny, uplifting look at two very different couples who unexpectedly find a common bond and ultimately bring out the best in each other. Dazzling, funny performances bring a touching humanity to this slice-of-life comedy with a big heart.

I loved it from beginning to end
16 July 1999
I really enjoyed this movie. Being a parent I can understand the longing to have a child and not being able to. Up until the time that I saw Immediate Family I had never seen Woods and Close in this type of role. They were great. I also loved the music. If you're sentimental like myself, pull out the hankie.

A poignant family drama
23 Jun 2008
Format:DVD
I watched this touching movie today and was absolutely riveted from start to finish. Glenn Close and James Woods play a successful couple who after 11 years of marriage still find themselves unable to have a child. They tire of medical attempts and finally decide to adopt a child. Mary Stuart Masterson and Kevin Dillon play teen parents-to-be who realise they can't raise a kid and decide to give their soon to be born baby up for adoption.
This is an emotionally heart-wrenching movie about the joys and pitfalls of adopting, on both the biological and adoptive parents. All the lead actors have done an amazing job in portraying the emotional fragility that each character goes through in the process. Glenn Close is so subtle yet riveting in her performance as a woman desperately yearning to have a baby and experience motherhood. It is a performance I shall not forget anytime soon. Her husband as played by James Woods is tender and credible in his role. Mary Stuart Masterson conveys all the fears and hopes of an unwed teen mother with a high degree of realism.
All in all, this is a wonderfully poignant family drama that will touch your heart.

This is one of the sweetest films I've ever seen. I absolutely love Glen Close as Lynda Spector in this movie and the ending could not be more heartfelt and touching.
