Sandy (Jennifer Aniston) is a stressed-out, single mom who learns that her ex-husband is marrying a younger woman. Her friend Jesse (Kate Hudson) is a fitness freak who doesn't tell her parents that she has a family. Bradley is a widower (Jason Sudeikis) who's trying to raise two daughters on his own, while Miranda (Julia Roberts) is too busy with her career to worry about having children. When their respective problems start coming to a head, the Mother's Day holiday takes on a special meaning.

Critics Consensus

Arguably well-intended yet thoroughly misguided, Mother's Day is the cinematic equivalent of a last-minute gift that only underscores its embarrassing lack of effort.

Even if stars Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson are mom's all-time favorites, don't subject her to this cloying, plotless dose of saccharine unless she's done you wrong.

Mother's Day isn't just bad, it's an unforgivable blot on the cinematic landscape.

Want some racism and sexism with your holiday celebration? The repellent Mother's Day has a surprising, distasteful, and shameful amount of both.

They all shine as befits their star status but there's little here worth casting their light on.

0/4.0

The film itself is destined to be one of the year's absolute worst efforts and easily the worst of Marshall's long career.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Our too-serious world requires bright, colourful ‘60’s style sets; time out from cynical sophistication and sarcasm. Sentimentality and an overtly emotional soundtrack are okay. If you need 24/7 drama, watch a war, Dr Zhivago or Eastern European art house cinema (they don’t do humour). You are permitted to eat popcorn and pizza once in a while and relax with Hollywood’s comedic actors being intentionally silly.

Una de las peores películas que he visto en mi vida. No puedo creer que es tan perfectamente mala, el cast obvio es bueno y es un desperdicio de dinero, tiempo y trabajo, está muy mal escrita, mal editada y no tiene nada de sentido. No lo digo ofensivamente, solo es una descripción honesta, me gustaría darle un 0 estrellas pero no sé puede.
