She packed your lunch. Tolerated your music. And quietly looked forward to the day you'd be happily on your own. If anyone qualifies as unforgettable, it's Mom. And if there's a comedy that qualifies as hilarious, it's "Mother." Albert Brooks is star, co-writer and director of this comic valentine about a twice-divorced author who decided the only way to fix his relationship problems is to move back to his childhood home and solve the problems he had with the first woman in his life—Mom (Debbie Reynolds, winning raves in her first starring film role in 27 years). For laughs as only Albert Brooks can deliver, come home to "Mother." Also starring Rob Morrow and featuring Lisa Kudrow.

Hodnotenia a recenzie

When it comes to films, there are few things as joyful as a good, smart comedy which doesn't dumb itself down to lowest common denominator humour. Mother is one of the best smart comedies. Brooks weaves a comedy of a second-time divorced, middle aged man who believes that his fractured relationship with his mother is the reason for his failed relationships, so he moves back in with his mother to reconnect with her. Mother is equal parts comedy with dramatic moments, mixed with dry sarcastic humour and great acting. From elderly parking antics, protective ice layers on sherbet which tastes like an orange foot to three-year old cheese which weighs more than a FIAT, Mother is a great way to enjoy two-hours.
