Leave your thoughts about Helicopter Mom.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDirector Salome Breziner is too permissive with her star, but "Helicopter Mom" retains some heart and meaning as it struggles to breathe. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsAn alternately humorous and sobering cautionary tale chronicling the woes of an exasperated kid smothered by a well-meaning mom in an era of omnipresent parenting. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenComedy about overly involved mom has a little edge. |
| Under the RadarKyle TurnerWith such an onslaught of misunderstanding of what being queer means and what the gay lifestyle is, the film flounders. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenGet past the wince-inducing premise of Helicopter Mom...and you're still stuck with a forced comedy that mines uneasy humor from stale stereotypes. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyIt is impossible to overstate how grating Nia Vardalos is as the title character in Helicopter Mom. Throughout her career, her default setting has been something like "Jack Russell terrier after an amphetamine bender." No surprise that she's exhausting here. |
| User ReviewJohnnie LI love love LOVE Mark Boone Jr. in this! He's so good. He needs to be in more stuff. |
| User ReviewJohnnie MJason Dooley and Nia Vardalos have such good chemistry in this movie. I especially loved her when she goes to the talent show. |
| User ReviewBessie BThis movie offers a new and refreshing take on a story we've seen before. Worth your time. |
| User ReviewCharles SA movie that keeps you guessing and wincing about what Nia Vardalos is going to do next. She balances a very difficult character. |
