I have seriously, never in my entire life, seen something on screen that was this painful to watch (including Jackass and Klovn). Poorly written, poorly executed, unenthusiastic acting from otherwise talented people. Just awful. I feel hurt and betrayed. I want my money back. And my time (finally out of the house, with my fiancé. Great date. NAHT.) From the outrageously racist jokes, the fat jokes, the stereotypical comic reliefs, the utterly pointless scenes and unbelievably unrealistic characters - Just the worst. I expected a pointless, turn-off-your-brain low quality romcom but never did I imagine it being SO BAD. To a few of my favorites acting in this film: Please - PLEASE - have more ambition in the future.

Mother's Day had a very promising story which was ruined by utterly poor execution and a complete waste of acting talent which was loaded due to the casting of the movie. Story (7/10): Well, nothing was so much wrong with the story. Four different lives, four different challenges and at some point of time, they cross the paths - and all of it is centered around the hullabaloo of Mother's Day. They all have their own theories and ideas for the big day but they end up doing almost nothing that they originally thought of - and that's where teeny tiny bit of the fun lies in the movie. A well conceptualized story though. Acting (5/10): Acting is where this entire movie falls apart in spite of big names like Julia Roberts and Jennifer Anniston. Anniston still seems to be in that "Friends" zone with her dialog delivery. The expressions are off and doesn't seem to be in the character really, except for last few minutes in the climax. Julia Roberts holds pretty much a flat face throughout the movie. Jason Sudeiki was probably the only saving grace. The rest of the cast makes a decent attempt but aren't able to lift up the movie. Direction (4/10): The direction of the movie is awful. Close to half of the movie misses the flow and the scenes look like stitched together as the director struggles to smoothly transition from one story to another. The screenplay is pathetic and isn't able to hold the audience more than few seconds. It is only at the end that things come together when the four characters converge. However, the overall execution of the movie "executes" the story. It just looks like the director suddenly realized that Mother's Day is arriving and he has to release a movie before that. Overall (5/10): Poorly executed. Should give it a pass.

This film tells the stories of several mothers who spend Mother's Day in different ways. "Mother's Day" can easily draw families to the cinema, because of its topic and the number of big stars. I watched it for Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston, but I was rather disappointed by it. These ensemble comedies have so many subplots and so many characters, that none of them are fully developed. As a result, I don't really know the characters well enough to care for any of them. the Kate Hudson subplot is funny and entertaining enough, providing the comic relief. The Julia Roberts subplot is very disappointing, because it could have been so much better. She could have made a touching announcement on TV, which would have a far greater impact on the viewers. Instead, something else happened on TV which I don't care for at all. "Mother's Day" had so much potential, but wasted the concept and the talent involved.

There is a demographic that will relate to this film: Females who are (or somehow wish they were) moms and who have lives enhanced by cheap daytime soaps and cheap paperback romance fiction novelettes. And, who don't mind a script that challenges a sophomore writing class (that's like the HS one) for stereotypic blandness; a dialogue seldom exceeding seven words (with lots of head shot panning back and forth and ) and repetitive plasticized robotic acting. Plot: Predictable buffet of female family situations. I knew before watching they would have Aniston in a sweating jogging or workout scene - yep. Usual preteen and teen issues. What subsequent scene always shows up when a vending machine fails to drop your snack? Yep again, someone tries to stick their arm up. That is creative writing?? The whole movie imitates that vending scene. Directing/editing: See somewhere in the above. Setting: White suburbias (as in plural many times over).

Very, very disappointed with this movie. There is no real-life link or lessons or messages that have been sent through or even tried to be sent through. The story lines are all over the place, there is no real development on the story lines and they are extremely short. Characters are also not developed at all. The only character that was a little deeper was that Jen, the others had no time to be developed. Great cast but some mediocre acting. Jen and Kate I found to be good, the others not so impressive. Very, very disappointed in Jack though. What was wrong with him. His acting was so bad. I was excited to see him in this movie because usually I am a fan of his but in this movie he was so bad. The only scenes that he did well were those on the stage since he has real life experiences on comedy life acts and I think he felt more comfortable. But that is not acting at all if you can only do things that are real in your real life. It is the opposite actually. In any other scenes when actual acting was required he just wasn't good at all. I guess the only good thing about this movie despite having a famous cast is that it is warm since it revolves around motherhood.

Gary Marshall , well known Director , especially for Pretty woman, directed movie Mother's Day. Some of my favorite actresses, Julia Roberts as Miranda, Jennifer Aniston as Sandy, Kate Hudson as Jess, Sarah Chalke as Gabi ( loved her in Scrubs)and newcomers for me Shay Mitchell as Tina (Pretty Little liars, Glee), Britt Robertson as Kristin( from movie Cake) got together in this simple movie about mothers. Mothers are kind , nice and possessive. Jennifer Aniston did extremely well with her emotions and showed how difficult it is to let go the father of her kids and on top of that share the kids with their new, young mother Shay Mitchell. Not all new mothers are mean and Shay Mitchell is kind, loving and caring and knows exactly who to call when there is a kids' crisis. I enjoyed the movie Pretty woman a lot and am sure all who enjoyed that movie as much as I did, understand the reference to fork and salad from Hector Elizando as Lance Wallace to Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts as Miranda is sincere and as usual perfect. Margo Martindale(from August Osage county) as Fio , mother of daughter Jess ( married to dark skinned Indian male physician)and daughter Gabi (married to wife Max ,actress Cameron Esposito)is initially upset and then accepts because mothers are naturally forgiving and look past everything done by their biological children. very pleasant movie. Not Oscar caliber but definitely a pleasure to watch. Loved Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, Sarah Chalke, Britt Robertson and Shay Mitchell.

I'm really disappointed with this movie. Scenario had only couple funny sentences, and that's it, and I assume this should be a comedy. If you expecting romantic movie you will be disappointed, because the only thing we see there is some people with some inessential problems, and making big thing out of it. Slow development of story, although is unpredictable because you can't expect that someone will devote such attention on not important details. The only bright thing in this movie is cast, which is making me confused why did they do this especially Sudeikis. It's cast with big experience i just don't understand need for this.

I like it no heavy drama straight to the point very sweet movie with great cast ...what else you need go and enjoy with your family .. there are no embarrassing moments. everything looks real .. something one can relate too.. Julia, Jennifer and Kate what a combo it is treat to your eyes Justin as always believable and lovable Indian punch to the movie blends perfectly ..kids did great job too not a milestone movie but as long it makes you smile i don't mind..also songs are good too i like all the one liners used smartly ..this one of those movies i can watch again without any pain ..I watched it very first day of its release in India as i have been waiting for this one ever since Tailor was out...

I think I liked the movie. The lifestyle that is shown is just cute. If you going to watch it outside US that could be pretty cool reason to hope for a better in a future. If you watch in US the movie can help to recall lifestyle millions of Americans were enjoying before last market collapse, and achieve it together again. This movie was just like few of last fiction books I've red. That could be like a food for positivity in case of lost relationships or simply if you want to get over something girlfriend, boyfriend, job or period of your life such as if you been living in another city. All actresses are hot. Julia Roberts wears weird haircut close to one from pretty woman movie.
