Subscribe FreeUsed People is an offbeat romantic comedy about Pearl Berman (Shirley MacLaine) an overworked, overtired Jewish housewife and mother in 1960s Queens. When Jack, her husband of 37 years, dies suddenly, Pearl alone must cope with her spirited, quirky, slightly insane family. Her live-in mother (Jessica Tandy) is a spunky, crotchety indecisive old woman. Her two combative, neurotic daughters round out the family album, one with a lifelong weight problem (Kathy Bates) and the other dressing variously as her favorite movie stars (Marcia Gay Harden). Pearl’s thrown a life raft in the form of Joe Meledandri (Marcello Mastroianni) a dapper, lovestruck Italian Romeo from the wrong side of the neighborhood who relentlessly pursues his Juliet. Ultimately, Pearl must choose between her maddening relatives and her starry-eyed suitor, none of whom it seems can live life without her.
