Sorry, this movie sucks

Great Film overall

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

There were some fun parts but I was disappointed because: Those awkward jokes about feeling awkward about period when it;s something normal, making women feel bad about thir bodies. The 'miserable' business woman becomes happy only when she meets her daughter. (perpetuating the stereotype of a woman being fulfilled only by motherhood). It was mentioned that only mothers know how to take care of children best, which is wrong. The good parts were the messages about racism and the lesbian couple.

Could've been great. I feel like this film is straight out the 90s except it has better quality. On one hand, we have the 'hot mom' type who is of course, a bit jealous, of her ex-husbands new wife (who is about 25) and she has a very obvious problem with the other woman's lack of clothes, apparently a sleeveless top and shorts are too much for her kids under 10 to handle. Can we stop putting this garbarge in films? So your eight year old boy can't handle shorts and pins? What are we teaching kids nowadays? Teach them not to look at women inappropriately. And then, we have the widowed dad who we are full of sympathy for until he's writing a shopping list which is new to him since his wife died, then his daughter requests tampons and he struggles to comprehend. He ends up not saying the word and can only manage to write down the initlal. If a dad can't handle to say the word tampon, he shouldn't have kids. This film had some good actors which they've not done anything with. It's a bit boring and predictable. Some good scenes although no excellent story.

I've been known to sit through some extremely corny movies, but this one was a little much even for me. I saw the other similar named-after-holidays movies, and in my opinion, they're continually going downhill.I'm not telling you to avoid it. In fact, you'll probably want to see it. Since the cast is so huge, there will probably be someone in there whose films you never miss. Told in interweaving, seemingly unrelated but secretly super-related stories, Mother's Day is about a bunch of mothers trying to struggle through their difficult lives. Children, ex-husbands, secret marriages, step-mothers, friends of no help but plenty of quip, and actresses who make you point at the screen, exclaiming, "Good God, she got old!" make up this not-at-all-delightful romp.My weakness is Jennifer Aniston; I watch all her movies, even the terrible, rotten ones. I saw this one, didn't I?

I actually enjoyed this movie more than some of the other similar Gary Marshall ensemble comedies. The cast is as likable as any you can get together in a movie and the scenarios are quite funny.Shay Mitchell of PLL is a scene stealer as younger second wife and she can hold her own in both looks and acting ability with the A list cast. Jennifer Aniston looks comfortably older as divorcée first wife. The funny situation is Kate Hudson's character hiding her Indian husband from her racist white trash parents. Brit Robertson never seems to look older than a teenager plays a woman with commitment issues. Julia Roberts looks deliberately I think a bit garish as a home shopping queen.Don't understand why people criticized this movie so badly. It's actually okay.
