Review: The critics got it right. The movie is awful.Having a popular star like Patricia Heaton in this movie is not enough to save it. The mothers and fathers depicted in this movie are mostly idiots and should never have had children. The script wouldnt have been approved for an ABC afternoon special because its so poor.My wife and I went to see the movie because the 17 user reviews available at the time on IMDb gave the movie an 8 or above with accolades like: Love this movie, Perfect Mothers Day Fun, Funniest movie I have seen in a long time, and Greatest Movie Ever Made. Dont believe any of these reviews. Having seen the movie, its clear to me that the reviewers had an ulterior motive.My history teacher in college, when announcing the next test date, would always preface his remarks with I know a word to the wise is foolish. This was generally aimed at those who would put off studying for the test until the last minute. Well, being foolish, I would like to offer a word to the wise which I failed to follow when considering this movie. For movies you are unsure you would like, dont trust a very positive or very negative review on IMDb unless you at least scan all of that users reviews. This will give you an idea where the user is coming from; if his/her tastes agree with yours; and whether there are any ulterior motives in posting the review. If a film has been absolutely panned on Metacritic, like this one was, be careful about selecting to go to that movie in the theaters. IMDb is generally a good source of what the users say. The operative word is generally. In this instance it was not.My review was a warning that this movie is not worth seeing. The fact that only 2 of 13 users so far found this warning helpful offers another clue about how IMDb reviewers can have an agenda. Who were the 11 people who found that my warning was not helpful? Are they the same people who find stop signs annoying or could they possibly be the same people who wrote the overwhelming positive reviews of this movie.
