"Mama's Boy" is hilarious from the get go! We rented it, practically died laughing, then had to buy it and have watched it many times - it's one of the best comedies of the past 10 years. Everyone is great in this film - Jon Heder, Diane Keaton, Jeff Daniels, Anna Faris, Eli Wallach. It's so great to see Jeff Daniels in a comedy (besides the classic "Dumb and Dumber" & "D&D2"). The friction and competitiveness between Jon and Jeff is a riot! Their scenes are the absolute best! Jon Heder's dialogue (and word usage) is beyond hilarious! Wish Hollywood made more great movies like this! This film deserves way more than 10 stars!

This movie was a good surprise. The humor is clever although the plot is dramatic.Sure, it's not a comedy 100% but when the plot is about a 29 year old man who acts like a kid then you can't expect to to take it seriously.Anna Faris is a doll! I love her. Jon Hedder is a good actor and delivers an interesting performance. Jeff Daniels is as good as always. Diane Keaton is great also! Don't expect this one to be a feel good movie. Expect it to make you reflex about your mother and how sometimes she sacrifices her own life for yours.I won't watch it a second time because it's nothing special or anything. Deserves a chance though.

Yet another "son who won't grow up" flick, and just the other recent like entries. Heder in another bad wig, channeling Napoleon for, what, the third time? Anna Faris is forgettable, as always; Jeff Daniels phoned this one in from another state, at least; and Diane Keaton...how does one become typecast this late in a career? Do not bother. Nothing is said here that hasn't been covered many times over. I will say this; it's about a hundred times better than "Failure To Launch". There are very few amusing bits in the movie, unless you think Eli Wallach cursing is funny. Ha, Ha! He's old and he dropped the f-bomb! Tee, hee, hee. Pitiful!

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)
