5.0 out of 5 stars totally fun / totally entertaining... UMA wins you over as a mom..., November 18, 2009

By 

Compusurge (New York City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motherhood (DVD)

Greenwhich Village, NY (specifically the west village) provides the backdrop for this totally fun romantic comedy about a mom who has to plan out one crazy, yet typical mom-day that in this instance includes tonight's 6 year b-day party, but also includes protecting her car, saving her bike, getting the right goodie-bags, befriending her friend (Minnie Driver)and of course writing her blog about being a mom. Whew....

Uma Thurman, in a role so entirely different than anything she's done before, plays 'mom' and is fantastic! Her relationship with her husband (Anthony Edwards) seem quite real-life in that he wants to be of help but hey... he is a man, right? There IS a bit of magic between them indeed and while it might not be on the scale of "Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan" (yet), it peeks through nonetheless and proves itself by the end of the film in a scene sure to win you over entirely. I could envision the two together in more films going forward...

Minnie Driver plays the perfect supporting role as 'insightful best friend' and while the movie runs along a somewhat predictable course at times, it also provides some very nice surprises and follows that formula that always wins while laying in some interesting insights into what it's like to be a mom. I can see the mommy-blogs launching new discussions for sure and a plethora of subjects. OK OK... I realize that I am not a mom, but I am married to one...

If you enjoy films like Moonstruck, Sleepless in Seattle, Mask, You've Got Mail and so on, Motherhood is a likely winner for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm the mother of six...and this movie really hit home for me., March 15, 2010

By 

Ginny "mother of 6" (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motherhood (DVD)

I loved this movie. The Norman Rockwell/"Leave it to Beaver" view of motherhood never worked for me. Life is a wonderful, funny, heartbreaking juggling act...and I think this film "gets it." As I've raised my brood in a rural community, I was amused and fascinated by the film's take on raising kids in the city. Overall...the film fascinated me...amused me...touched me. It was one of the better films I've seen recently. It's smart, and the humor comes out of irony.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably a really good movie, but...., February 25, 2010

Margaret Dybala "too many books, too little time" (Pearland, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Motherhood (DVD)

This is probably a really good movie that lots of people will truly enjoy. I can say that this little story about a day in the life of this family, and especially the mother, does have a certain charm to it. And the acting is very well done.

But here is the thing that really turned me off: This day is very hectic. My, my. All the things the mother has to do in this day. What a busy, almost intolerable day. My. my. Of course, most of us have to do all that stuff, and still go to work. We get up at 4:30 every morning, do EVERYTHING this mother has to do, put in 8 serious hours, commute, trust our children to daycare, come home, clean, cook, shop, be cheerful....

Some people think that is a choice. But for most of us, it isn't. It is just the reality of needing a paycheck. So, this movie just didn't click with me. I felt like I was watching Marie Antoinette say, "Let them eat cake."

I don't think I've ever been so sarcastic in a review, but this movie was just very, very, very shallow.
