NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

studiochiq Helicopter Mom is a forced comedy that mines uneasy humor from stale stereotypes. Directed by Salomé Breziner from a dated script by Duke Tran, the film's idea of pro-LGBT dialogue takes the form of one-liners like "My son's not gay — he doesn't like pesto!" It gets worse. Breziner's disjointed film is rife with story lines that go nowhere and characters that briefly appear and disappear without explanation. Nia Vardalos' character is more clown than character, earning no sympathy from the audience. First-time screenwriter Duke Tran's script is plagued with dialogue that plays for cheap, crass laughs.Bad ideas are sometimes saved by good scripts, but this is, unfortunately, not one of those times. It drones on and on with failed jokes. Its queer subject matter is supposed to work as a satire, but fails miserably and ends up serving up stereotypes and expects the audience to get the context of the satire which is lazy and lame. With an onslaught of misunderstanding of what being queer means and what the gay lifestyle is, the film flounders and just falls into completely stupid territory.It is no wonder why nobody is renting this failure.

AdamDTurner I'm a mother and this movie touched me in a way I didn't think possible. It's so hard raising a child and even harder to see them leave home for the first time. Nia Vardalos does such a beautiful job as the mother. She's smart and funny and full of life and I just wanted to give her a big hug her at the end of the movie. The relationships between the whole family are so honest - the mother and son were my favorite. Lloyd's difficulties in finding his sexuality were really difficult to watch at times but I think it was done in a really clever way. All the mothers at the PTA meeting were hysterical - that Barbara Boxer was so crazy and witty she had me in stitches. All mothers should watch this!!!

AngieGHopkins This movie is hysterical!!! Found myself bursting out in laughter at home - so much so that my roommate ended up coming out of her room and watching it with me. Nia is priceless as a single mother trying to keep her son from flying the nest. It's funny and sad and honest and packs a punch that got me and my roommate into a really interesting discussion about high school. I thought the casting was perfect too. Really loved Jason Dolley (never heard of him before watching but would watch other things with him in it) as the young kid and his bf is so cute (and handsome). Mark Boone Jr. was awesome as the dad too - Mg that dinner scene with the young gay guy was so funny!If you're looking for a laugh out loud flick this is it!

alfredjack78 There are so many unbelievable and/or boring stories and movies out there about homosexual and bisexual characters that just want to have sex all the time. This movie is a breath of fresh air in that it's about a kid who's just trying to figure it all out. He doesn't know if he's gay or straight, and I think it's a really important message.So many people out there struggle with their identity. I think we need more movies like this to show people that it's okay to not know who you are. All that's important is being true to yourself and that can be really hard.I support any movie that tries to start a conversation about this subject matter. It's not a gay movie, it's an honest movie
