Pity party for moms.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 14, 2010

An authentic account of stressed-out parenting, but anyone sans sprogs will find limited appeal in this one-trick pony.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2010

I wouldn't care if she was at the epicentre of the movement for global peace: she's a happily married mother who looks like Uma Thurman, and my reserves of sympathy are limited.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

This whiny drivel makes me ashamed to be a woman.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

Few vanity projects can be as ill-conceived as this laughless, goggingly slow Uma Thurman vehicle.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

If you ever wanted to spend an entire movie in the company of a frazzled, childcare-juggling Uma Thurman on a singularly bad hair day, Motherhood could well be manna from heaven.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

This I-Don't-Know-How-I-Do-It schtick may appeal to the martyred-motherhood brigade, but it won't do anything for people who turn up to a comedy expecting laughs.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

Whiny and self-involved, Thurman's mother of two sees judgment around every corner and believes the universe has conspired against her because the bakery misspelled her daughter's name on a birthday cake.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 7, 2009

Motherhood gives upper-middle-class whining a bad name.

Full Review | Oct 26, 2009

Unfortunately, nothing here digs too deep.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 23, 2009

The humor is soft, the dramas are small, and the movie stumbles from loose and scruffy naturalism to sitcom tidiness.

| Oct 23, 2009

It scares straight any wishful daydreams about parenting, living in Manhattan and even looking like Uma Thurman.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 23, 2009

Uma, overload. Overload, Uma.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 23, 2009

If Carrie Bradshaw ever trades her Manolos for sneakers and starts blogging about raising children, I pray she wouldn't be as tiresome as the heroine of Katherine Dieckmann's insufferable comedy Motherhood.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 23, 2009

[Motherhood] not only overdoes its premise, but it's hampered by several flaws. When it tries to be serious, it's too earnest, and when it tries to strike a chord, it's banal.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 23, 2009

The movie is billed as a comedy, but at no point will you require oxygen. There are some smiles and chuckles and a couple of actual laughs, but the overall effect is underwhelming. Meh.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 23, 2009

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 23, 2009

| Original Score: B- | Oct 23, 2009

Misguided, cluttered, annoying mess of a dramedy, a film only moderately redeemed by the still-luminous Thurman, but even she is dragged down by a truly awful screenplay. Mothers still get no respect.
