	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Atrociously written, begrudgingly acted, haphazardly assembled and never more backward than when it thinks it's being progressive."	NEG
United States	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"	NEG
United States	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)"	NEG
United States	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)"	NEG
United States	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"	NEG
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"A movie not even a mother could love."	NEG
United States	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)"	NEG
United States	Samantha Highfill Entertainment Weekly	"If you love your mother, do not make her see this movie"	NEG
United States	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"	NEU
United States	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"	NEG
