    There isn't a whole lot to say about My Mom's New Boyfriend.
    The story wasn't horrible, but it wasn't anything original. I can easily see why this one slipped under the radar without being noticed by many, even with the hugely popular cast.
    The cast was good - Meg Ryan, Antonio...( read more) Banderas, Collin Hanks, and Selam Blair. The acting wasn't bad either, the script just needed some help.
    Something bothered me all through out this film. Maybe it was the fact that I can't listen to Antonio Banderas speak, without thinking of that annoying Nasonex bee with the thick Spanish accent. Or maybe it was the fact, that the once alluring and quirky Meg Ryan is getting so much Collagen that she is quickly taking on a slightly Jokeresque quality.
    I do always enjoy Selma Balir. Collin Hanks is turning into a good actor. I can actually see a lot of Tom in him, in this movie.
    My Mom's New Boyfriend is a luke warm romantic comedy. If you have nothing to do, it would probably be more fun then trying to figure out what that mysterious container in the back of your fridge is.

    My Mom's New Boyfriend is a train wreck of a film. Colin Hanks has been away busting bad guys for the FBI for three years while his mother (Meg Ryan) changes her attitude into a complete 180 of how she used to be. Hanks comes home (apparently he was trying to bust Osama Bin Laden...( read more) because they haven't talked for three years) to find his mothers new wild ways while introducing his fiance (Selma Blair who is vying for the William Hurt over exposure award this year). Along the way mom meets Antonio Banderas char cter Tommy, who the FBI are looking at as an art thief. Hanks is put in charge of the task force against Tommy and that's when the hilarity ensues.

    So why's this movie a train wreck? Never mind the the taped together plot and the worst plot twist in the end the film is pretty much Colin Hank's character being disgusted at his mothers behavior for 90 minutes. That's it. The problem is that's where most of the comedy comes from and you tire of it after the first half hour.

    A rather dry film that doesn't really solve anything except showing how not to throw a plot twist in at the last minute. Casey Jones was driving this one.

    This was cute. It started out pretty good...but I have to say Meg Ryan needs to hang it up...she was so fake and absolutely not convincing. Colin Hanks is dang talented and I can so see him go all the way like his Dad...good for him. Selma and Antonio were really good too, a litt...( read more)le to predictable but ok.

    Instead of packing her son up for college, as the film opens the overweight (cue the questionably tasteless fat suit), perpetually junk food eating, soda drinking and cigarette smoking clingy mother Martha Durand (Meg Ryan) bids her ambitious, devoted son Henry (Colin Hanks) fare...( read more)well for his new, top secret work with the F.B.I. Having lost a husband who'd perished in jail, our first clue that old Martha likes herself a bad boy, she's devastated to lose her surrogate "man," but even more shocked when she's mistaken for a bum by a passerby so, urged to change her ways and make a second start, she makes a fortune in stocks, slims down to a sexy model stature from her two-hundred fifty plus pound size, buys herself some silicone implants, and renames herself Marty. Ditching her old frumpy Martha persona, the choice of a masculine name for our leading lady isn't lost on astute viewers as Henry returns three years later to discover his mom is acting like a twentysomething frat-boy gone wild-- bed and motorcycle hopping at will, with an Italian chef serenading her nightly on her front lawn to dating a boy who drinks milk straight from the carton and leaves Marty's place just in time to make it to his finals. Predictably, Henry's alarmed to discover this new version of Marty as basically a one-dimensional Cosmopolitan Magazine cover come to life and it throws their relationship completely out of whack when not only Henry introduces his mom to his F.B.I. psychological profiling colleague fiancé Emily (Selma Blair) but soon after, Marty meets cute with an ultimate bad-boy in the form of mysterious, probable international art thief Tommy (Antonio Banderas). For simply the sake of the preposterous plot instead of any actual logic, Henry is assigned the task of staking out his mother without her knowledge, bugging her home and keeping tabs on her new love. My Mom's New Boyfriend has its hands full dealing with Marty and Henry's flat-out creepy relationship. So paranoid is Henry about seeing his mom with another man and having dominance in her life, the character's personality skedaddles way past being just an uptight G-man and into ickier territory usually reserved for Jerry Springer's show. It doesn't help that Hanks doesn't seem to be having the least bit fun or that Meg Ryan delivers a painfully over-the-top turn as Marty. Faring better are Banderas and Selma Blair, who, as Henry's fiance, has absolutely no purpose in the story except to show off how great she looks in lingere. There's a light twist at the end so everybody can be happy.

    A few chuckles, a little bit of plot, and some star power. I wish there'd been more Selma Blair on screen. I like her but her part could have been played by anybody.

    It's kind of scary when Meg Ryan smiles (her face is a disaster, but her lips are worse) but other than that she ...( read more)looks good and can still pull off her Megness like no one else. There are a couple scenes that are pure Meg. When Antonio is fawning over how hot she looks, she responds "Yeah! I know!" Only Meg could do that and not make everybody sick. In another scene she gets mad at him and throws a fit, punching and screaming into the air. Antonio just watches until its over and is speechless (so was I) but for a genuinely soft-spoken "Wow." It was nice to see those scenes. Meg's still got it and Antonia doesn't seem like he's going to lose it any time soon.

    It was a pleasant surprise to see how good Antonio looks. Maybe I just haven't seen him in a while. I've always liked him in comedies. If you like Antonio, you'll love the scene where he ends up with each hand in a glass of water (or white wine?). Antonio could charm the socks off ... I dunno, somebody who really needed their socks.

    That's what these kinds of movies are all about, right? How good do our stars look? How much we enjoy seeing our favorite celebrities prance about ... acting.

    There's a light twist at the end so everybody can be happy. Upon reflection it explained a few unanswered hmmmm's from previous scenes but I didn't see it coming because I wasn't expecting it; I didn't need it and I had forgotten about those scenes because this isn't a movie you keep score on. That's cool

    How can they still make this kind of corny movies! I didn't like Meg Ryan in this movie too. Just Colin Hanks was good.
