    Funny stuff, for sure.

    Smother is a story about an overbearing, neurotic, slightly unbalanced mother. She gets into a fight with her husband and comes to stay with her son and his wife.
    Diane Keaton always plays a good mother role, in my opinion. I love her as the mother in The Other Sister. So, it ma...( read more)de sense to me that they would cast her in that role. She does play the semi mental very convincingly and had some funny moments.
    I always enjoy Liv Tyler, she is one of my favorites. Dax Shepard is a comical actor. He has great timing, and there are some humorous thick with sarcasm lines in this film that I can appreciate.
    Although it won't be up for an Oscar anytime soon... Smother was a slightly entertaining movie. Predicable and lacking here and there, but at least good for a few laughs. Kind of like Spring Break, minus the sunburn, hangover, and that tattoo you aren't quite sure how you got.

    Smother, starring Diane Keaton and Liv Tyler is a good comedy. A young couple trying to start out have to compete with having her brother and his mother reside with them for several weeks....many crazy things ensue...a cute movie to see and I love Diane Keaton.

    Here is a funny movie that centralizes on one man?s dilemma when he loses his job, his wife wants to have a baby, and unwanted visitors come to stay in their home. Noah?s entire world is turned upside down, until he decides to do something about it. Filled with tons of laughter! ...( read more)Dax Shepard, Liv Tyler, and Diane Keaton stars. Worthy!

    I was expecting to crack up it this movie, but I was wrong. I got dizzy with diane keaton with her nonstopping crap. I just like the original way dax use sarcasm. there are many others movies of this kind but funnier that this one to enjoy.
