If the singular noun ends with an s, add apostrophe s if the extra syllable is pronounced. If the extra syllable is not pronounced (or if it otherwise looks confusing to add apostrophe s), simply add an apostrophe.

Examples: the dress’s hem
(Added syllable is pronounced.)
Lloyd Bridges’ son
(Added syllable is not pronounced.)

Some authorities always add an apostrophe only to any word ending with s, regardless of its pronunciation. This is acceptable. Whichever standard you follow, be consistent.

Example: the dress’ hem
(Word ends in s, pronunciation does not matter.)

Haven’t seen it, but it reminds me of a movie that the box it came in advertised it as “uplifting and humorous.”

The movie was One True Thing.

Not uplifting.
Not humorous.
