Two Albert Brooks movies in a week, is that any good? Mother, starring Albert Brooks as a neurotic twice divorced SF writer,
is (again) directed by Albert Brooks himself. The movie tells the story
of the son moving back in with his mother, hoping that this may solve
his problem with women. Instead he finds out that his mom had a talent
too, which she apparantly gave up when she raised her kids.
The movie has funny conversations, silly twists and a memorable
supermarket scene where mom and son argue about organic jam. Good
comedy/drama for a night: be aware that it has been rated for several
sexual references. This mom is most likely a nightmare for conservative
people.
