Even if stars Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson are mom's all-time favorites, don't subject her to this cloying, plotless dose of saccharine unless she's done you wrong.

Mother's Day isn't just bad, it's an unforgivable blot on the cinematic landscape.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 11, 2016

Want some racism and sexism with your holiday celebration? The repellent Mother's Day has a surprising, distasteful, and shameful amount of both.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Aug 2, 2016

There's very little that is natural about the storytelling in this crudely conceived, genetically engineered monster of a narrative. And there is no insight into motherhood that you couldn't find in a pound shop greeting card.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 12, 2016

The movie Mother's Day is so godawful, it doesn't just give the titular holiday a bad name, it might actually give mothers a bad name.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 10, 2016

Mother's Day is less a film and more a selection box of clichs.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 10, 2016

The plotting is contrived and the characters speak in melodramatic psycho-babble.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 9, 2016

It's as feelgood and life-affirming as a fire in an asbestos factory neighbouring a children's hospital.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 9, 2016

Garry Marshall's latest ensemble comedy once again charts the build-up to the annual special occasion of its title in the lives of a variety of blithering idiots.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 9, 2016

Quality levels are dangerously low, yet entertainment value is rather high.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 7, 2016

The cinematic equivalent of spilling boiling hot coffee on your mother when you bring her burnt toast for breakfast in bed.

| Original Score: D- | May 17, 2016

A hodgepodge of irrelevant (at best) and nonsensical (mostly) story-lines with absurd dialogues, Mother's Day lands somewhere between a mean joke and a cinematic WTF.

| May 6, 2016

Whether you want to take your mother to see it is something only you can know.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 6, 2016

As flimsy and trite as a Hallmark card.

| May 5, 2016

Mother's Day might be trying to show how diverse and progressive it is in representing every kind of family, but it's a laugh track away from Three's Company levels of subterfuge.

| Original Score: .5/4 | May 2, 2016

There's only a token black character in a movie set in Atlanta, where blacks outnumber whites by no small margin - Georgia's film tax credits must be incentive to lure more white people into the city.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | May 1, 2016

It's fine that the makeshift trilogy (please, let it only be a trilogy) is a simple-minded ode to love meant to send everyone home happy. So why doesn't it actually send anyone home happy?

| Apr 30, 2016

Garry Marshall remains a Hollywood player, churning out a series of ensemble romantic dramedies so unapologetically mainstream they're almost exotic.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 29, 2016

It does inspire the kind of holy terror that you feel all the way down to your bones, or the revolted tingling that strikes one at a karaoke performance gone tragically wrong.

| Apr 29, 2016

"Mother's Day" is a total mess, but what's truly offensive is that they didn't even try to make this cynical, post-Sunday brunch cash grab even remotely watchable. Your mom deserves so much better this Mother's Day.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 29, 2016
