Alberto Cox Délano Pajiba A very innovative proposal in horror, very Spanish, but it’s still a horror film. The fact that it’s packaged as a comedy means nothing; it only heightens the brain’s cognitive dissonance. May 17, 2022 Full Review Jade Budowski Decider It might be predictable, but Honeymoon with My Mother is heartfelt and genuinely funny at points, buoyed by a lovable performance from Carmen Machi. May 4, 2022 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Honeymoon with My Mother is a hybrid, not just of comedy and pathos, but also of good script and awful script, good story and terrible story, character consistency and inconsistency. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2022 Full Review Abirbhab Maitra Ready Steady Cut A bubbly comedy about the mother-son relationship, it is perhaps a superficial story but works as a refreshment and is able to put a smile on your face. Rated: 3/5 Apr 30, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

estefania m Es una pelicula que sirve como sonido de fondo o que puedes ver de manera tranquila con amigos, tiene momentos graciosos y sin embargo llega a rozar a ser predecible sin perder el encanto. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/22 Full Review sarah a Great film! So funny. A lovely tale of a mother and son bonding with halarious consequences. Slapstick humour done very well. It's a bit cringey in a halarious way when the mother has to pretend she's married to her son to stay in a luxurious room at a luxury resort. I would highly recommend for some light fun watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny movie with some sentimental parts too! It was great at making me laugh but there were just some questionable bits which I still can't get past. I feel like the mother/son lines were blurred a bit too much. Other than that I would say watch it if you enjoy good use of comedic timing but if you're looking for depth apart from a few family lessons here and there then this is not the movie for you. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny foreign language film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie belongs in the horror comedy genre, in a very unfortunate way. The script did Quim Gutiérrez an injustice. Gutiérrez is a fine actor who, in my opinion, can do it all- although, I think he is typically superb in romantic comedy. But, "Honeymoon With My Mother" was too flat with little substance. It was way too long and it was rather predictable. And, I thought at one moment that anyone who utters to his mother "You are the love of my life" then I am not surprised you were left at the altar. The film tries to relay a message that one can often take a mother for granted instead of seeing her as a woman with wants and desires who also happens to be a mother. But, there were so many more ways to achieve that message instead of overworked scenes of mom and son pretending to be married. Yolanda Ramos was the highlight of the film. Her comedic skills helped prevent my eyes from rolling in the back of my head. Still, I hung on throughout and I was hoping the ending might surprise me. No such luck!
