Katie's Mom

It's rare to find a movie this smart and funny. Hilarious, well written, zany and totally enjoyable. If you're looking for a comedy that's more interesting and complex than the politically correct options available now, you'll love this film. I'm glad I found it. It's sexy and outrageous and the writer doesn't shy away from a taboo subject and deals respectfully with the power and vulnerability of a woman on the brink of menopause when she realizes she is anything but invisible, in fact she's got it going on. This film is brilliant and the best I've seen in a long time, which is why I've taken the time to highly recommend it.

I recently watched this film on Tubi, and what a ride! Dina Meyer was perfectly cast in the role of a recently divorced loving mother finding herself in the riskiest manner possible. I didn't expect to find myself rooting for her, but because of the nuanced writing and spectacular performance, I was with her all the way. The whole cast was talented and they gelled like a real family. It was a delightful reinvention of a classic story from a perspective not always centered in cinema. It's rare to find a laugh out loud romantic comedy these days. I can't wait to see what's next from these filmmakers.

Since the unfortunate death of Nora Ephron we've seen a boatload of D+, not well written romcoms ultimately get glowing reviews just for allowing Anne Hathaway to look and act 24 at 40, and then calling her brave for dating... a 24 year-old. Katie's mom is much better written and it was a relief to see Dina Meyer being a truly beautiful middle aged woman embracing the perks that come with aging, and being appreciated for them by young men. It is an overall imperfect, but highly watchable film. One of the characters overdid it a bit at playing annoying to the point of not inspiring enough sympathy when she experiences long-overdue character growth at the end, and there were a couple trope moments it would have been stronger without.

I absolutely loved this movie about a woman's sexual awakening after her divorce. All the acting was superb and there were many heart-warming and surprising moments. I laughed out loud more than a few times.

All the characters were well drawn with believable flaws that make them human and relatable. The script was punchy and fun and the directorial choices and cinematography were impressive, particularly for an independent film.

I'd highly recommend this film to anyone, but especially women seeking a sexy comedy told from a woman's point of view. It's the best of all the May/December movies that have come out in recent years.

This movie really wasn't that bad. I actually watched until the end. This was more watchable than Anne Hathaway's "rom com" called The Idea of You. That movie was horrible in my opinion.

I dont know if I could forgive my mother for what she did. It's hard to imagine being attracted to my child's significant other but I'm sure it's happened more than once.

The movie really did not have to be as long as it was. But other than that if you have time on a Sunday afternoon it is a good time waster.

The brother was a bit odd and overly suspicious which was a little strange but I guess that's what brother do.

The ex-husband was a douche!!! Just saying.

All in all not a bad movie for Tubi standards...
