It was entertaining

Kinda stupid funny. Nothing that really made me bust out laughing. The ending was incredibly dark and unexpected. It was okay.

Awful in evey way, about as funny as a hangnail. And all the 7-10 star reviewers are new or single use accounts -- ie complete shilling

I mean come on! anyone claiming to eve be able to sit through this without cringing for everyone involved is lying. You'll have more fun at a hospice.

Nice try but no cigar

Great idea for a movie but ended up all over the place. The soundtrack was awful & completely random, the acting was same (although not the worst part of the movie). Basically a really poorly executed plot. The high ratings are definitely fake, it's not even good ironically

Really shouldn't have bothered

Saw this film on a Showfilmfirst promotion so it was free. I feel they should have paid me to watch it!

Awful plot, ridiculous situations, weak and incoherent script and, if they were meant to be, jokes. No engagement with the two main characters, couldn't care less what happened to them and how they manage to get back home is farcical (as is how they got so far away from home in the first place).

Cannot understand how it gets such a high score, pretty much always agree with IMDB ratings but this is way off the mark.

Could have been more funny...

I stumbled upon the 2018 comedy "I Love My Mum" here in 2022, without ever having heard about the movie. So I didn't know what I was in for here, as I sat down to watch what writer and director Alberto Sciamma had to offer.

However, I must say that I liked the synopsis, because it sounded like a fun movie. And of course, with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to watch it.

Sure, "I Love My Mum" was watchable, but it wasn't as funny as I had hoped it was, based on the synopsis. It seemed that the storyline was somewhat scarce on the amount of funny situations and comedy, which the synopsis otherwise seemed to present.

The acting in the movie was good, with leading actress Kierston Wareing and leading actor Tommy French carrying the movie quite well. It was definitely a nice treat to see Dominique Pinon in the movie as well.

"I Love My Mum" wasn't as funny as I had hoped, so this is hardly a comedy that I would recommend for fans of the comedy genre. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

It should be noted, though, that the ending of the movie was quite a surprise twist of events.

My rating of "I Love My Mum" lands on a four out of ten stars.
