Entertainment Reviews:
...Funny yet tremendously tellin....This well-crafted film is exceedingly sensitive, balanced and scaled in all its aspects...
Los Angeles Times
In its deceptively modest way, this edgily sweet comedy gets closer to the bone of mother-son relationships than many a more solemn opus.

The clash of personalities that ensues produces some truly hilarious moments.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
It wasn't the automatic laughter produced by slam-dunk punch lines, but the laughter of recognition, of insight, even sometimes of squirmy discomfort, as the truths hit close to home.

Brooks has always been a second-rate Woody Allen to me. This is a second-rate Brooks' film.

...The dialogue in MOTHER is written so carefully that some lines carry two or three nuances...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Off-putting and uncomfortable ... but still pretty funny.

Product Description:
After his second marriage hits the skids, novelist John Henderson tries to divine the source of his problems with women by moving home and getting to know his mother all over again. The only problem is, she doesn't really want him there. As John tries to figure out why, as he puts it, she hates him, he also has to contend with his jealous younger brother, who can't stand to see him threatening his position as mama's boy. MOTHER is a bittersweet comedy from Albert Brooks, the master of urbane wit. Debbie Reynolds makes her first film appearance in years as Henderson's maddening but loving mother. Listen for the new lyrics to the Simon and Garfunkel song "Mrs. Robinson" in the film, penned by Brooks and coscreenwriter Monica Johnson.
