Following the success of New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day director Garry Marshall promises to again deliver big things for Mother's Day with his winning storytelling style and an all-star cast. This heart-warming film follows the very different relationships between mothers and their children. Mother's Day intertwines poignant tales of parenthood which include a mother's attempts to share parenting roles with her ex-husband (and his much younger partner), a daughter who is desperate to find and build a relationship with her absentee birth mum, a father struggling to fill the hole in his children's lives after the tragic loss of his wife and an adult daughter with children of her own finding it difficult to reconnect with her parents. Filled with touching moments and big laughs, Mother's Day is guaranteed to melt the hearts of audiences the world over. (StudioCanal)

I actually never understood in what way one is supposed to celebrate Mother’s Day, but it’s nice that somebody tried to turn this topic into a film. At least I got to see Jennifer Aniston again, who – even a hundred years from now – will look the way she does in this film.

This is an unbelievable mishmash of various themes where ultimately nothing is resolved, and everything turns out just as you'd expect. Simply an ordinary romance, which has the main advantage of featuring great acting names. Jason Sudeikis caught my attention the most. The small percentage rating for the film is probably mostly out of respect for Garry Marshall.

The beginning sucked, but as time went on it got going, so I had a lot of fun here and there. Jennifer Aniston deserved the most credit, but Jason Sudeikis wasn't bad either. However, one must bear in mind the fact that in real life everything does not end as sunny as in this nice feelgood movie, which will appeal more to women more than men. (55%)
