I'm constantly re-playing the scene in the parking lot at the supermarket:
-Come on mom
-Wait over by the car, honey
-Come on!
-Wait over by the car, honey
-No, come on!
-Wait OVER by the CAR, honey
-But...
-WAIT OVER BY THE CAR HONEY, OVER BY THE CAR, NOW! NOW! NOW!!!
hahahaha I find this hilarious!

Sure, it's hilarious. Especially followed by John Lithgow telling Debra WInger, "Nice kids. And you're great with them too."

Oh my - it is my absolute fav funny scene in the whole movie! Apart from the obvious sad scenes, I always think of this scene when I think of this movie.

I am watching the movie now and that was the scene that was just on. There were lots of comic scenes in the movie. In the trivia section it mentioned that he hired Shirley since she was the only one that saw this movie as a comedy.
shareYeah it's funny ... and it makes me happy that that same kid got eaten by the shark in Jaws .

I love this film and I'm watching it right now. The scene just happened where she is telling him to go to the car, except I don't find it funny. He's a little brat and I just wanted to slap him. But then again I'm not a kids kind of person.

I don't know if funny is the word I would use and I would DEFINITELY not call the kid a brat.
Tommy always understood more than the adults knew. He knew things weren't okay between his self-absorbed parents, and the reason he wouldn't go to the car, was that he sensed something was going on between his Mom and this stranger.

Definitely true. He sensed a flirtation between his mother and the stranger. His parents just had a screaming match before they went to the grocery store. Even though he was a child, Tommy understood that his mom was ripe for some positive attention from an attractive, charming man.
I do feel bad for Emma though when she doesn't have enough money and had to "put some things back." Tomy flips out when she puts back the candy bars.
"You said I could have something!"
Not exactly bratty, just something a self absorbed child (is there any other kind?) would say. He was oblivious to his mother's embarrassment at that moment.
One other scene i always laugh at is early on during Aurora's dinner party.
Aurora's suitor is nervous about the "short gentleman."
I love the way Danny de Vito praises Aurora.
"I met her in church. You might say she's God's gift to Vernon Dahlart."
When asked, "So you like her"?, he responds, "Oh no! Does it show?"
