Trading Mom

Good Movie Great cast With Oscar Winner Sissy Spacek who Played The Mom Maureen Stapleton not related to Jean Anna Chlumsky Veep and My Girl 1 and My Girl true Great I watched this movie on The Disney Channel before Miley Cyrus Mid 90s this had Asher Melnick from The Torkelsons. This has Similar themes To North The same year as Trading Mom also it was very funny I don't know if its a movie or a Tv Movie I give this movie 4 stars i recommend this movie North and The Babysitters Club (1995) Great movie this was part of Wonderful World of Disney Some people would say this movie this silly I Don't this movie was originally called The Mommy Market.

When I first heard about "Trading Mom"--Sissy Spacek as a harried single mother whose kids wish her completely away, replacing her with a series of substitutes, all portrayed by Spacek in different guises--I thought it sounded great, and just the boost Sissy's career needed. But what a disappointment "Trading Mom" turns out to be. Based on the book "The Mummy Market" by Nancy Brelis, and adapted by the film's director, Tia Brelis, the comedy is poorly-paced and produced, and features the kind of movie-kids that make your teeth ache. As for Spacek, she's fine (as always) but is defeated by the colorless script. Some brief flashes of wit, nothing more. *1/2 from ****

When this movie first came out I was 5 and my older brother was 12. He literally had me convinced that the mommy market was real. He told me our mom wasn't our real mom and that him and our other older brother used up all our tokens lol

Trading Mom (The Mummy Market.) is a really cute family movie, which stars Sissy Spacek as a mum, wished away by her kids. One of the kids being Anna Chlumsky, who with her brothers go in search for a new mum at "The Mummy Market". After, they try out some new mums they realise they want their old and real mum back. And, of course they get her back. Sissy Spacek and Anna Chlumsky both give good performances here. I think this is a really light-weight, great movie, especially for young kids/teens. I really enjoyed this, especially when I was younger.

No deep or philosophical meaning.

Just a happy, fun movie great for a rainy Saturday. Made me smile.

So wholesome and heartwarming.

Silly? Yes but in a good way.
