Leave your thoughts about Otherhood.
| VarietyCourtney HowardWhile the filmmakers have crafted compelling characters and conundrums, they unfortunately fail to give them better connective tissue and a satisfying third act. |
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowThe three lead actresses also produced the film, presumably because there are not enough good roles for women over 35. They need to look a little harder. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWould I go out to see Otherhood? No. Nor should you. And we don’t have to. It’s not all that, but it’s perfectly “Netflixable.” |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleNominal laughs plus three reliable actresses equals the very mediocre Otherhood. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersOtherhood does have a few genuine and genuinely funny moments — thanks largely to its stars — but they’re overshadowed by the bad behavior of both the mothers and their sons. |
| The Hollywood ReporterCaryn JamesThis misadventure of a project is a blip on the actresses’ résumés. |
| User ReviewmartinjacandSometimes the characters have reasonable motivations and valid points - but most of the time all the characters are just unlikeable |
| User ReviewMurrayT57Once I had rolled my eyes 10 times I shut it down. It makes Hallmark movies look like Academy Award nominees. Terrible acting, terrible plotlines, just terrible in every conceivable way. |
