Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B --
For people who believe that a grown-up son can never go home again, Brook's serio comedy, one of the few Hollywood pictures dealing with mother-son relationship in a poignant way, came as a surprise; Debbie Reynolds in a comeback turn is great.

Rating: B --
For the most part its droll humor rubbed me the right way despite its pat facile conclusion and all the product placements.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
...The dialogue in MOTHER is written so carefully that some lines carry two or three nuances...
Chicago Sun-Times
...Terrifically likable....The best reason to see MOTHER is the deliciously off-kilter performance of Debbie Reynolds...
Entertainment Weekly
In its deceptively modest way, this edgily sweet comedy gets closer to the bone of mother-son relationships than many a more solemn opus.

Newsweek
...A deftly observed study of mother-son tensions....The storytelling verve, characterizations and observations about contemporary foibles are sharp...
Variety
Brooks has created his best work so far. His oddball comedy has sometimes missed the target, but with Mother he has chosen an ancient theme and given it a smart, modern spin.

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.
