11:05 AM My Little World !!!
Is it just me or anybody else do feel the same thing that the 2016 movie, Mother's Day was highly underrated? I mean, what was the problem with the movie after all? I admit that I never liked the recent holiday theme movies from director Garry Marshall like Valentine’s Day (2010) and New Year’s Eve (2011). But lets also not forget that he is the one who gave us Pretty Women(1990), The Runaway Bride (1999) and Princess Diaries (2001) too. Mothers Day is overpacked with cast but I felt this movie is more realistic than his last two movies.
The best part of the movie is that it includes all mothers. Whether be it a divorced mother to lesbian mothers to mother who are too young to mothers who abandoned their kids to mothers who have a good marriage life to stepmothers and yes even mothers in heaven and grandmothers. I mean it literally showcases every single mother in this earth.
It shows reality. It shows that mothers too have flaws. Like the scene where the character of Kate Hudson allows her child to eat sand saying that Kids survive, they have healthy immune system. I have seen many reviewers creating fuse about this line. Come on please, we all know that some times its really hectic to look after the kids (even though we love them more than anything in the world). The toddler however and whatever we tell he still puts all the dirt into his mouth. The character of Kate Hudson is just fed up at that moment! So relax, and consider it as a joke!
Some reviewers have labelled the character played by Margo Martingale, who plays the mother of Sarah Chalke and Kate Hudson in the movie, as “racist” because she got disturbed that her daughter got married to an Indian guy (Aasif Mandvi). Yes she is definitely not liking her daughter’s husband because he is from a different culture. And yes, it happens at some homes! Welcome to reality people. There are mothers who are bossy and over protective. But that doesn't stop Kate Hudson’s character from loving her husband. The mother later understand that fact and is happy for her daughter.
I also read many reviews that said about the part of a movie where Jennifer Aniston’s character accept life advice from a clown, is ridiculous. Now whats wrong in that? Is it because a person who dressed up in clown costume advising is what you cant digest or is there any pre qualifications to advise someone? Come on, we don't know who in which part of the world will bring a smile to our face or even change the way we look upon life!
It also shows how difficult it would be without a mom around the kids. How a widower struggles to create an understanding between his grown up daughters. How a newly step mother struggles to find the perfect first aid for the kid’s asthma.
I felt the movie was entertaining and interesting to watch. Yes it lacked comedy but I personally don't think it lacked content. Yes Julia Roberts wig was definitely a joke, but lets not take such silly mistakes into a big negative. It clearly shows that the strongest bond is that between the mom and the child and nothing can come in between them. I suggest you to see it for once and give your feedback in the comments below.
