Critic Reviews

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...an unmitigated disaster...
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
pretty much a throwaway
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
As a light romantic-comedy caper flick, My Mom's New Boyfriend succeeds on only one level: it's light.

I didn't even finish the movie cause it was so boring and cheesy.

Light-hearted romantic comedy. I just adore Meg Ryan and she was great in this movie. Great if your looking for a unique movie

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 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.

Meg Ryan is really hot and hilarious as a wacky mother with relationship problems in the zany secret agent farce movie. I really liked her acting that made me laugh so much as well as Antonio Banderas was.

Colin Hanks is one of the best reasons to check out this film. He is hilarious in the film. The film kind of reminded me of Mr. Woodcock with a little bit of Thomas Crown Affair. I think the film needed another rewrite. Overall, the film is entertaining and worth checking out,… More
Colin Hanks is one of the best reasons to check out this film. He is hilarious in the film. The film kind of reminded me of Mr. Woodcock with a little bit of Thomas Crown Affair. I think the film needed another rewrite. Overall, the film is entertaining and worth checking out, especially cause of Hanks.

Banderas does everything right, in this average romantic comedy.

"My mom's new boyfriend" stars Meg Ryan as Marty, the mother of Henry (Colin Hanks), an FBI agent, and a woman who was once extremely fat but now when Henry comes back from a very long work trip, is completely unrecognizable. I don't know what surgeries everyone mentions, but the woman Henry sees by the pool is very hot and I guess that's why a mysterious art thief (Antonio Banderas) falls for her. A cast with Meg Ryan, and Antonio Banderas in it can do only good and it did but not quite as I expected. I think this is the worst of Meg Ryan's movies, I'm really a big fan of her, she's one of the most gorgeous actress in Cinema, and she'll always be the queen of romantic comedy, and I liked most of her choices in the past, even the not so-good movies of her however "My Mom's New Boyfriend" is an average comedy and while I had a good time watching it...the experience is completely forgettable. I enjoyed watching Colin Hanks in this movie. I found him quite convincing, which was not easy considering the lousy screenplay. Antonio Banderas was handsome as always but Banderas seemed a little fake in some parts, he had extra-use for his charm and that's not quite good in a comedy. I was expecting more of this movie but it is truly neither comedy nor romance.....
