Synopsis

Sandy is a stressed-out, single mom who learns that her ex-husband is marrying a younger woman. Her friend Jesse's parents don't know that she has a family or that her sister, Gabi is married to a woman. Jesse's friend, Kristin, is juggling motherhood of a toddler, a patient boyfriend who keeps proposing, and searching for her biological mother. Bradley is a widower who's trying to raise two daughters on his own, while Miranda is too busy with her career to worry about children. When their respective problems intersect and start coming to a head, the Mother's Day holiday takes on a special meaning for all.

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
mrscrispy Yet ANOTHER waste of time. You know when even perving on Timothy Olyphant isn't worth it, it's going to bomb. They just went down the line & ticked all the boxes for a comedy formula & you failed miserably - the Producers should be shot for producing this one.
dswhitcomb Since Amazon Prime kept pushing this movie on me, I finally gave in and downloaded it to watch on a trip and even though it didn't cost me anything, I still feel like I should get something back for my effort. This was the most predictable and lazily written movie I have seen since, well, any number of the other formulaic tripe that we see come out of LaLa land. The actors had to know what a poor script this was. They probably got paid a lot just to show up and recite thier lines. Here is your formula checklist just to make sure we aren't missing anything hung. The single dad has to buy tampons for his teenage daughter and the cashier has to call for a price check? Check. The racist parents from Texas who only drink American beers and hates gay people? Check. The same parents don't know that their one daughter is gay and in a committed relationship? Check. The other daughter is married to a man from a different culture? Check. A successful entrepreneur who doesn't have kids and is so focused on her career? Check. The same woman is hiding the fact she had a child at one time? Check. A divorced mom who soon discovers her ex husband's much younger new wife isn't so bad after all? Check. I could go on and on and on which it what it seems like this movie does as it fills in its movie paint-by-number script. There isn't one funny line in the entire movie. Even the stand up comedian doesn't have one funny joke but gets a lot of laughs during his sets. He even wins a stand up contest with his "improv" about his baby (which wasn't funny at all). Here are a couple of other notes I mentally took as I zoned out listening to this movie: A child with asthma who has an attack while at his step mom's house. Step calls bio mom in panic because the inhaler is empty. Bio first tells step to put him near an open freezer because it helps him breathe (SINCE WHEN HAS THIS EVER BEEN THE CASE FOR AN ASTHMATIC?) but second, tells step that there is a back up inhaler in his backpack. Don't you think you would mention that first. And don't you think the kid would know that too?? For the storyline regarding the racist parents, how could they have not known about their daughter's husband and grandson that is at least 8 years old? They haven't even spoken in that amount of time but suddenly show up as a surprise for mother's day? What about the big holidays like Christmas, or milestone birthdays? The town holds a Mother's Day parade?with floats and things. Huh? I have never heard of such a thing. Have you? The interior designer has a website that looks like a page from 1995 in a beginning html class. I wouldn't hire a designer with a site done so poorly. This was such a waste of the talents of Julia Roberts, Asif Mandi, Jason Sudekis, Jennifer Aniston, and others. And it's a sad way to remember Garry Marshall.
novagirl11 The cast is so great! (and unexpected cameos around every turn) a classic Garry Marshall film, with plenty of references to (and actors from) his other movies!
minnewis The plot line ages Roberts at just 40 years old or younger and they have her looking older than her actual 48.
