Mama's Boy is a first directorial effort of Tim Hamiltion & written by Hank Nelkin. For a first effort,they get mild thumbs up from me.
Jon Heder plays a spoiled insufferable 29 year old brat & nerd first class. . I do believe most of my readers know what spoiled brats of any age need. YES they need a good hard spanking, This would have been a much better comedy if any or all of the other main players spanked him.
Diane Keaton looking great, plays his long widowed Mother.
Jeff Daniels looking too heavy,play Dianes suitor.
Anna Feris ( a newcomer to me) plays the love interest to our nerdish hero.
Eli Wallach ( a spry young 91 year old) is Heder's employer & friend.
The film is silly & stupid at times,BUT I did enjoy the goings on.
Its really a family type film, no nudity, very little violence,no foul language.NO car crashes or explosions, just silly stupid fun.
As I noted at the beginning,If I saw this in the theatre at todays inflated prices, I may felt my time was wasted,
I saw this as a rental on my DVD, This probably should have been a TV movie,
The running time is only 93 fast minutes.
Ratings: *** (out of 4) 77 points (out of 100) IMDb 7 (out of 10)
