Product Description Mama's Boy (DVD/WS/FS)Napoleon Dynamite star Jon Heder plays an arrogant pseudo-intellectual whose ideal life of living at home with his angelic mom (Academy Award winner Diane Keaton - Annie Hall, Something's Gotta Give, The Godfather films) in Texas is threatened when she falls in love with a self-help guru and prepares to marry him in the contemporary comedy Mama's Boy.]]> .com The great cast of Mama's Boy--Jon Heder, Diane Keaton, Jeff Daniels, the always-awesome Anna Faris--help lift this indie gem from its semi-predictable setup. Heder plays Jeffrey, a 29-year-old dweeb who still lives at home with his mom, Jan (Diane Keaton). Widowed at a young age, Keaton has clung to her only son, but not as much as he's clung to her since the death of his dad. The two have settled into a routine--game night, special menus--like, well, an old married couple. Until Jan is swept off her feet by motivational speaker Mert Rosenbloom (Jeff Daniels), who preaches the ground-breaking theory of "Positivity" ("...which goes back thousands of years--Jesus was really a big practitioner"). Then Jeffrey acts out--in a way more appropriate to a 3-year-old than a grown man. Jan and Mert have a touching, believable chemistry, and Jeffrey's tantrums are cringeworthy but hilarious. "You can't win back my affection with Manwich!" he shrieks at his appeasing mom. Does Jeffrey get his own chance to grow up and move on? Quicker than you can say "enter oddball Goth girl." Anna Faris plays Nora, an aspiring singer-songwriter with rather a limited repertoire; every song is about corporate America eating our souls ("I'm calling my first album 'Bed, Bath and Bulls--t'!"). Not surprisingly, she also has a heart of gold. As she works her quirky charm on Jeffrey, everyone in the film gets a chance to blossom. --A.T. Hurley

Mama's Boy
A very funny story about a 29 year old still living with his mom who he WAY TOO close too. She starts dating a new guy and he goes insane with jealousy. They both go into a "war" with each other to win the moms love. A very funny prank war too. While this goes on a very free spirited hippy like girl falls for the son. She however see's the war and mom love as WAY TOO much. A young guy has to grow up fast or lose everyone including his mom. Pretty funny just wish Anna Faris was in it more.

Enjoyable
Mama's Boy is quirky and a bit of a departure from the norm. It is well acted with my favorite, Diane Keaton. Casting was on the ball. The actors well-suited their roles and played off each other in an artful manner. The movie is fun, entertaining and well worth watching.

could't be any worse...
First time when on dvd only watch ed beginning. Because of jon heder in blades of glory my daughter wanted it. This is your average comedy (it couldn't be any worse than most) and sorry, but I have a soft spot for Diane Keaton and Jeff Daniels.About a son who learns to let his mother be herself and not protect her in a misguided way.

Not great, but not bad either
This movie wasn't as bad as most movies of this type. I actually didn't feel that I had wasted my money when I purchased it used ($2.98 DVD) thru Amazon.com. The acting was good enough, and while the predictable storyline has been used numerous times before, it kept me interested until the end.

Oh so funny
Our son is 22, and we have been married forever, but it was pretty much the same thing. He is still at home.... need I say more. I just love Diane Keaton, she is such a good actress and plays the part so well. Jon Heder my kids got me started on him in Nepolean Dynomite and Blades of Glory. It is so funny and cute. I would buy it again...

Returned
Thankfully before I opened the package on this DVD I saw a preview of this movie. I'm a fan of Jn Heder's Napoleon Dynamite and I friend of my at work recommended I see Mama's Boy. After seeing the preview of this movie, I returned it immediately. So I can't right a fair review but to me it looked like it would be a waste of money.

Mama's Boy
Good film ... but not a favourite. It had its funny parts and thought Jon Heder played the part well - of a Mama's Boy.
