WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
Several generations of families come together to celebrate Mother’s Day in many different ways – divorcee Sandy (Aniston) copes with her two sons having a new step-mother, sisters Jesse (Hudson) and Gabi (Chalke) reveal to their prejudiced mother (Martindale) their respective lifestyle choices, writer Miranda (Roberts) deals with her choice to give up her daughter Kristin (Robertson) for adoption, and widowed father Bradley (Sudeikis) tries to be a loving father to his daughters while also trying to ignore the holiday…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
In the spirit of his past holiday-themed ensemble movies Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve, Mother’s Day celebrates mums everywhere and the love we give them and they give us (even though this movie comes out roughly THREE MONTHS after the actual UK Mother’s Day, but whatevs).
