    Feel good movie with a message

    This movie starts out as a tale of three mothers in upstate New York who feel ignored by their sons, who live in New York City. There is comedy and some cliché acting, but when you look further you witness what many parents experience nowadays: losing contact with their children who are living their own life without ever thinking about the persons who raised them en love them. It's about the present hedonistic and shallow lifestyle of many young persons, the selfish attitude they are not even aware of themselves. I guess many young people who criticise this movie recognise themselves in the three sons.

    Fun movie, delivering a good message.

    This movie not only makes mothers nowadays feel great about themselves, it also delivers a very important message for their kids.

    Fun movie. Fun characters. What I liked most about it is how they managed to show how they party and have fun without making them look aggressive like other "let's go drunk" movies out there.

    From motherhood to otherhood

    A feel good movie about the midlife crisis and the empty nest syndrome. On Mother's Day, three single mothers decide to rendezvous in Manhattan with their three ungrateful sons. Ungrateful? Well, they forgot about Mother's Day ... again!

    The atmosphere looks like an unpredictable mix of the endearing side of any Woody Allen movie from the 70s, the irreverent side of Sex and the City (1998) and the cheesy side of Mamma Mia! (2008). It's definitely not a masterpiece but I liked it.

    Nice lifestyle movie!

    I have been searching the whole Netflix to find a movie like that one, it is sensual, joyful and hitting lifestyle in all its aspects. I really liked the movie it is simple yet concise and leaves a good impressions! Well you gonna watch the behind the scenes and check how those actresses are playing an immensely great role.

    I called to my mom after the movie

    I mean, yes is a predictable comedy BUT the message that this movies pass us is so strong and powerful. A solid screenplay, a nice directing style with a Netflix budget and with the outstanding and brilliant performances of the Oscar nominated actresses Angela Bassett and Felicty Huffman and Oscar Winner Patrícia Arquette. Recommended to the all the grown up sons that live far away from their mother. And in the end of the movie u're gonna miss her so much that u gonna call to your mom until she answer.
