MY MOM'S NEW BOYFRIEND

Satu lagi film yang aku tonton ... MY MOM'S NEW BOYFRIEND ... Supaya balance dalam hidupku ... jadi aku gak nonton film action melulu ... sekali2 film drama ...

How do you like romance, comedy and some action into one movie? It certainly pleases me that there are some movies that offer just that like My Mom's New Boyfriend. The movie stars Meg Ryan, Antonio Banderas, Collin Hanks and Selma Blair.

The story is about Martha later on called Marty (Meg Ryan) who was a single mom to Henry (Collin Hanks) which is an FBI agent.

Martha forgot to take care of herself until an encounter in the airport where someone mistaken her to be a beggar because of her physical appearance so after that she decided to have a complete overhaul on herself. Three years later when her son Henry came back, she became one hot mama that every guy just wants to be with, even a high school boy.

Due to the seemingly mismatches of Marty, Henry's fianc played by Selma Blair decides to have the match-making game for Marty. Henry of course disapproves of this since he is very protective of his mother. However destiny calls and one day while strolling around, Marty bumped into Tommy (Antonio Banderas) and both of them seems to have fallen in love at first sight. Henry of course was still a little bit auspicious about this whirlwind romance. In addition to that, Henry found out that his next case as an FBI agent involves the guy his mom is dating, Tommy. Tommy appears to be one of the art thieves from Paris that are now believed to be in the States to steal a statue at a museum. Henry of course becomes so worried of his mom and does not wish her to continue dating Tommy but due to his boss's orders, he has to make sure his mom keeps dating Tommy. The FBI bugged the house and followed Marty and Tommy very closely without Marty knowing any of this.

The good part about the movie is that the humour was sexy but not at all dirty. It is a romantic comedy movie that can be enjoyed in a date with your girlfriend or boyfriend or your family. The story is very light and provides you a good laugh once you finish the movie. It also shows good values of closeness between mother and son.

The movie is not all that perfect. There are also some cons from the movie. For a romantic movie, My Mom's New Boyfriend does not have a very memorable soundtrack. The sweet scenes are also not very sweet. The movie is more comedy than anything else. Nonetheless I highly recommend this movie for a comfort movie night. I will give this movie an overall rating of 4/5. This is a must watch movie.
