This is definitely a chick flick. But it was excellent! There was happy, sad and touching moments. Moms with college aged kids would likely enjoy it the most.

I think this is one of Netflix's better efforts at feature films. The story was well-written and supported, with perhaps a couple of weak spots (i.e. an explanation of the connection between Matthew & the woman his mom {Angela Basset's character} partied with at the club); the purpose of the second couple, I assume, sharing the brownstone where Paul lives with his partner). The actresses were a great cross-section of mothers who are also friends and have some who are close friends.

Is it an Oscar, award-winning film? No. Did it keep me engaged, interested, and eager to see how things turned out at the end? Absolutely, YES! It was a perfect break from the depressing/serious and/or thought-provoking documentaries I also watch regularly on Netflix.

I enjoyed it and glad to see I'm not alone in feeling neglected😥

A feel good movie about the midlife crisis and the empty nest syndrome. On Mother's Day, three single mothers decide to rendezvous in Manhattan with their three ungrateful sons. Ungrateful? Well, they forgot about Mother's Day ... again!

The atmosphere looks like an unpredictable mix of the endearing side of any Woody Allen movie from the 70s, the irreverent side of Sex and the City (1998) and the cheesy side of Mamma Mia! (2008). It's definitely not a masterpiece but I liked it.

This is a good movie to watch "for fun". Yep. It would be a good beach read if it were a book. There are some good points made, but the problem with good points is that the people who need them the most never "get" them. All in all, kids will be kids and strong moms will continue to be just that! How lucky people are who have them. :)
