Leave your thoughts about Mama's Boy.
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThings sadly come to a grinding halt when the schtick wears thin and starts to repeat itself. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunMama's Boy is the ultimate, definitive, supremo bad movie, the universal black hole of suckage bad movie, the celluloid anti-Christ bad movie of bad movies -- not to put too fine a point on it or anything. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenMatters quickly regress into an antic romantic comedy, potentially buoyed by a strong cast but soon thwarted by a screenplay as leaden as it is predictable. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanI expected to laugh a lot harder and more frequently. Mama's Boy isn't what I'd call a terrible movie. Instead, it's a movie that assembles a lot of interesting elements that never gel. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...there's certainly no understating the ineffectiveness of Heder's relentlessly (and irritatingly) over-the-top performance... |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereIt's not that the movie is utterly bereft of arresting moments. It's just that each of these prominently features one of the aforementioned supporting cast and not the so-called star. |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerAna Faris is the best thing in this predictable, often silly Jon Heder movie about a spoilt son trying to sabotage his mother's new relationship |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...unless you are related to Keaton or Heder, I wouldn't advise you go out of your way to see it. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonHaphazardly conceived and clumsily executed, this aggressively quirky yet gratingly unfunny comedy appears set on the fast track to vidstore bins. |
| User ReviewDevonawsome!! and peoples who dont like it, i shall quote jeffery's good old friend."idiot!" |
