doomed from conception
04/21/09
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.

Smother feels like the sort of misbegotten curiosity Comedy Central uses to fill its Sunday afternoon programming.
10/03/08
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.
09/25/08
This film has its share of crass, unlikely jokes, but also allows its characters some psychological complexity.
06/07/08
Director and co-screenwriter Vince di Meglio handles this thin material without much subtlety.
05/15/08
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.
