<\/div>\n
Not another “Occasion Movie”<\/i> I thought to myself as I saw the trailer to “Mother’s Day”<\/b>. I was never a fan of the whole “New Year’s Eve”<\/i> – “Valentines Day”<\/i> movie-formula. Seeing it as just a movie to watch for the sake of “an occasion” but what “Mother’s Day”<\/b> has going for it is that it has a secret weapon…and that is we all came from a mother and that could result to very complicated relationships\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We all have some sort of relationship with our mom, whether it’s that you’re best friends or worst enemies, sometimes even both, yes, “frenemies” <\/i>is a common thing between Moms and their children.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In “Mother’s Day” <\/b>we see different kinds of moms interact in what becomes a hilarious interwoven story during probably the most memorable Mother’s Day celebration in movie history.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Divorced Mom, Sandy (with two sons) Jennifer Aniston is struggling to deal with her children’s new stepmom. Mom with Mom issues<\/i>, Jesse (Kate Hudson) has cut ties with her mom, due to some life choices, she made.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then we have Mister Mom <\/i>Bradley\u00a0(Jason Sudekis), who I must say was the one I was most looking forward to seeing in the movie. His wife recently passed away and he is having a hard time coping with the loss as well as being left alone with his two daughters. Sudekis did not disappoint and probably brought the most tears from a crybaby me. Go Mister Mom!\u00a0<\/i> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Britt Robertson (who starred opposite George Clooney in ‘Tomorrowland’) is Kristin, a new mom, who has some abandonment issues since she grew up not knowing her birth mother. \u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Julia Roberts is Ms. Career<\/i> -Miranda, the queen of an ubiquitous home shopping network. She has taken her career as her child but what secret is she hiding? This is her fourth appearance in a Gary Marshall film – of course there’s Pretty Woman<\/i>.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Mother’s Day <\/b>is a light and fun filled film, full of laughs and a bit of tears. I haven’t heard an audience laugh so hard and there they were laughing their heads off. Looking back at it, the audience was doing more than just laughing, they were reacting<\/i>\u00a0to the movie, gasping at the right moments, and tearing up on the dramatic ones.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are the heavier ‘mom movies’ like “The Joy Luck Club” <\/i>(1993) and “Stepmom” <\/i>(1998) -(where ironically Julia Roberts plays the eponymous Stepmom) and “Mother’s Day” <\/b>knows what kind of ‘mom movie’ they are and that is the light and fun kind<\/i>, where all you will do is laugh and laugh some more. There may be tears, mind you.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Definitely the movie to take mom out on Sunday – Mother’s Day because it would be nice to enjoy a film, without having to explain to your mom why Batman and Superman are beating each other up or why Captain America and Iron Man are in a very <\/i>complicated…love triangle…relationship.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Some of my rants about the movie – The third act of the film was a bit over the top (sudden wedding, instant party) and I can’t stand Julia Roberts really bad hairdo. Funny that for a mom movie there were a lot of unnecessary boob exposure. Good thing that they belong to Kate Hudson and Jennifer Aniston or else that would have been a horror movie entirely. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5.5 out of 10 Stars take mom out to this movie on Mother’s Day!\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mother’s Day <\/b>opens in May 4 in cinemas from OctoArts Films International.\u00a0<\/div>\n
