I Love My Mum (2018)
4/10
Could have been more funny...
24 August 2022
I stumbled upon the 2018 comedy "I Love My Mum" here in 2022, without ever having heard about the movie. So I didn't know what I was in for here, as I sat down to watch what writer and director Alberto Sciamma had to offer.

However, I must say that I liked the synopsis, because it sounded like a fun movie. And of course, with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to watch it.

Sure, "I Love My Mum" was watchable, but it wasn't as funny as I had hoped it was, based on the synopsis. It seemed that the storyline was somewhat scarce on the amount of funny situations and comedy, which the synopsis otherwise seemed to present.

The acting in the movie was good, with leading actress Kierston Wareing and leading actor Tommy French carrying the movie quite well. It was definitely a nice treat to see Dominique Pinon in the movie as well.

"I Love My Mum" wasn't as funny as I had hoped, so this is hardly a comedy that I would recommend for fans of the comedy genre. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

It should be noted, though, that the ending of the movie was quite a surprise twist of events.

My rating of "I Love My Mum" lands on a four out of ten stars.
