To the others that have commented on this movie - chillax people! Why take everything so personally/seriously? If a movie actually makes you angry - then stop watching it and move on! Actors have to make a living too - not everything they do is going to be a masterpiece. (And insulting their looks just makes YOU look petty and stupid.)
That said, this movie was mildly entertaining, not offensive, and had a few chuckles. If, like me, you watch movies to be entertained (to step out of your own world for an hour or so), then this movie should do the trick. I wouldn't recommend spending a lot to see it - but then I'm of the opinion that very few movies are actually worth the current ticket prices.

What a cheap movie. I can't believe Meg Ryan's performance and Banderas' too. Meg Ryan's face became a female joker (Jack Nicholson's joker). She said she went to Tibet i read Kuran etc. and said she understood reason of life is a fun. What a stupid and cheap philosophy. This movie and movies like this movie say to people 'You are stupid and we have money from that'. Can I explain? . Morals are so bad too. Comedy is bad, drama is bad, performances are bad, story is too bad, disgusting director. This movie just spent my time and makes me angry. I wanna say too much things but my English is not good. greetings from turkey.
"My Mom's New Boyfriend" has got what it takes, well nearly. It starts off on a very interesting note and builds up to a quite nice premise with adequate fresh gaffes sprinkled at regular intervals. Sadly it loses steam towards the end and becomes quite predictable. Meg Ryan is a big downer, she chugs and splutters all over the place. Antonio Banderas is smooth and suave, reprising his "Zorro" performance. Colin Hanks failed to deliver the goods thereby the movie doesn't quite register an impact. Selma Blair was merely a stocking filler. The climax portions seems to have been written by a 10-year old kid, very lame!
Verdict: Can pass off as a popcorn evening on a rainy day.

i think this is the worst of Meg Ryan's movies, i'm really a big fan of her, she's one of the most gorgeous actress in Cinema, and she'll always be the queen of romantic comedy, and i liked most of her choices in the past, even the not so-good movies of her , she was able to make them worthy watching, but this film is just bad in every possible way?!
it's boring, not funny, flat and predictable . nothing in this movie is interesting nor original, it's not comedy, not romantic, not thriller and not action. i've never felt uninterested of completing watching a movie that Meg Ryan appears in before.
if you are Meg Ryan fans then i recommend to avoid this movie. if your not, then avoid this movie as well.

Gallo's 'My Mom's New Boyfriend' isn't half as bad as it's been made out to look. On the one had I expected something downright awful given what I'd heard but on the other hand how bad could it be if it's got Meg Ryan, Colin Hanks and Selma Blair? but hey, just because I didn't find it to be truly abysmal, by no means am I implying that it's great. The plot may be an interesting premise for a comedy but the story is silly mostly because of the poor writing. The comedic situations mostly work because of the actors. Meg Ryan, Colin Hanks and Selma Blair are solid. They do feel like a family. This isn't by any means their best movie but they make it work and watchable. Antonio Banderas's role is more of a cliché and the actor follows formula but is clearly overshadowed. Overall, it's a fun movie to watch with the family. Even though it's nowhere near a classic, there's plenty to laugh about.
