	Media	Author	Review
		Andrew Barker Variety	"Atrociously written, begrudgingly acted, haphazardly assembled and never more backward than when it thinks it's being progressive."
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"This movie never should have seen the light of day or the dark of theater (...) Offensively stupid, shamelessly manipulative, ridiculously predictable and hopelessly dated"
		Stephen Whitty New York Daily News	"Following the lazy formula the director laid down in 'Valentine's Day' and 'New Year's Eve', Marshall and his writers line up a bunch of stars, set up some basic sitcom situations, then hope audiences are in the right holiday spirit. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"
		Brian Truitt USA Today	"Unless your mom has an extremely low bar for movie satisfaction, it's best to do her a favor and skip a date to Mother's Day'. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"
		Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"'Mother’s Day' plays more like a marketing campaign than a flesh-and-blood drama (...) a film that seems stuck in a world of 1960s sitcoms"
		Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"A movie not even a mother could love."
		Sara Stewart New York Post	"'Mother's Day' is a film only its creators could love (and even they must be having some misgivings). (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"
		Samantha Highfill Entertainment Weekly	"If you love your mother, do not make her see this movie"
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"'Mother’s Day' is about as bad as a movie can be without being remotely obnoxious. It’s mostly pleasing, or at least pleasant"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Laugh-free and witless (...) With 'Valentine’s Day,' 'New Year’s Eve' and now 'Mother’s Day,' director Garry Marshall has officially become the worst thing to happen to holidays"
