Reviews for Smother

Director and co-screenwriter Vince di Meglio handles this thin material without much subtlety.
05/15/08
Perhaps Diane Keaton was poisoned by merciless Asian gangsters with strict instructions to make two career-denting comedies that methodically peel away her integrity before she was allowed the sweet kiss of a life-saving antidote.

doomed from conception

Smother feels like the sort of misbegotten curiosity Comedy Central uses to fill its Sunday afternoon programming.
10/03/08
Not exactly unequivocal accolades for the mom in your life, nor is it Mommie Dearest packing closet hangers. But there's a decided appreciation for the woman who raised you, warts and all, and debriefing of an assortment of lingering childhood grudges.
04/16/09
This film has its share of crass, unlikely jokes, but also allows its characters some psychological complexity.
06/07/08
Filled with crazy situations, this comedy of errors may not work 100% of the time, but there are enough laughs to allow us to delight in its lunacy, and enough home truths about families and mother/son relationships, to be touched.
