Dating My Mother

Written and directed by.. (but not starring... that's sometimes a movie killer).... Mike Roma. A millenial is glued to serial dating. And to his phone. Danny, (Patrick Reilly) comes back east from LA for a job prospect, hangs out with his high school friends. He resents his mother when she starts a good relationship with a new guy. When things get rocky and he can't find a job, Danny wants to head back to LA. Something has to work out. Can he get back on track before the drugs and drinking really get him into trouble? Co-stars Kathy Najimy and Mike Rosen. It's cute. Has its funny moments and some serious moments. Kind of fluffy, but not bad.

Dating my mother is a beautiful movie, beautifully shot and acted very well! Kathryn and Patrick are perfect as mother and son and the story was realistic and entertaining! Loved it!!!

Lovely when nothing's on tv and nice dose of humor

This film manages to hit both deeply sentimental and absolutely hilarious chords, all while staying beautifully self-aware, fresh, true to itself, and playfully tongue and cheek. It's amazing and positively refreshing to see a film that satirizes online dating through a deeply genuine and comedic lens. We need more films that touch on the important themes of genuine intergenerational and intersectional dialogue, and I plan on showing Dating My Mother to my future children one day.
