Meddling Mom (2012 TV Movie) User Reviews

Cute and sweet

[Cgcowboysgraven · 6/10 · 9 March 2013]

This movie is light and sweet. Not academy award material but not every movie is or needs to be. It will give you a laugh or two and is completely clean. Great movie to sit with a snack after a long day or to watch with your mom or grandma, and those movies are hard to come by these days. This is along the lines of some other delightful Hallmark movies, Growing the Big One, a Princess for Christmas, Holiday in Handcuff's or The Engagement Ring. Personally I liked the movie and thought it was cute. This movie is acceptable for adults and children of all ages, but I don't think to many men would relate to it, unless they had a meddling mother

Ok watch

Not as good as I had hoped but still well worth watching. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 3/22/2021

Enjoyable

It's the story of a widow who won't open up to a new man, because she's too busy meddling in her daughters' love lives. But it's pretty crummy of the boys to abandon their gals like that, and just wallow in self-pity at a bar. Should the girls have really taken them back? Ironically, the action where the mother goes too far with the elder daughter is actually innocent. Throwing a surprise birthday party isn't too meddlesome. You can't really expect the mother to know that her friend's new boyfriend just so happened to be the one guy who mustn't see the young lovers fraternizing.

Mindless and vapid

[stweedle · 1/10 · 23 February 2013]

Vapid, mindless, shallow, hollow, insipid, boring. Actually, calling it shallow implies it has a little depth... but it has absolutely no depth. It is thoroughly uninspiring, uninteresting and boring. Furthermore, it is uninspired, colorless, uninteresting, feeble, flat, dull, boring, tedious, tired, unexciting, uninspiring, unimaginative, lifeless, tame, vacuous, bland, trite, jejune. It is unimaginative, uninspired, characterless, flat, uninteresting, lackluster, drab, dry, humdrum, ho-hum, monochrome, tedious, uneventful, run- of-the-mill, commonplace, pedestrian, trite, tired, hackneyed, stale, lame, wishy-washy, colorless, anemic, lifeless. I did not like it at all.

Eat, Dance, Meddle

It's a shame this movie didn't spend more time with Ally and Ben and less on the Meddling Mom's romance.

Mercedes Renard is charming, a better actress than most Hallmark women, and she and Rob Mayes (Ben) had good chemistry in their limited screen time.

I enjoyed the devotion to family and quality time. I liked that no one was Hallmark plastic/perfect. They drowned their sorrows in booze and chocolate, fought and plotted and threw a fit or two like real, sloppy humans.

Don't watch this one hungry!
