One of the best movies I've ever seen! July 27, 2008
This is a great movie! My sister and I used to watch this a long-time ago when we were just kids and I remember how touching it was then. This is a "gotta have" movie!
A poignant family drama June 23, 2008

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.
Poignant! September 24, 2007
I had never heard of this movie when I stumbled across it on TV years ago and it really moved me. I have recommended it to dozens of people over the years. It is very well done and very poignant.
 Great Movie August 22, 2006
Loved this movie! It has some great humor and very tender moments with a great ending! You'll laugh, cry and be touched by these "real people".

Immediate Family is about a wealthy couple who have every thing they ever dreamed except...a baby. After several failed attempts a getting pregnant the couple find an unmarried teen couple who are about to have a baby but know they cannot support it. This is a mixture of drama and suspense and a film that the whole family would enjoy. Rent it today!
