A Masterpiece!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Trite, hackneyed, badly written, diabolically acted vomit fest of epic proportions. Every cliché in the book, with unrealistic characters who are totally unlikeable because they are just too perfect in every way. This film offers no plot, no incident, no interest and I'd assume it was written by a ten year old Barbie obsessed girl if I didn't have more respect for children's imagination..I love a good romance as much as the next person, but the characters seemed so unrealistic I simply wasn't able to believe a single word of it. Stefanie Powers was the only thing about this movie I liked, and even she has done much much better things in the past. Watch this film if you love to be talked down to from a fantastic height.. otherwise, avoid like the plague

Despite being highly predictable, this is an absolutely wonderful film where a lonely boy, a product of a divorce, whose father totally ignores him begins to write to a soldier stationed in Bosnia. When the guy, Vince, comes back to the U.S. on leave, he finds love with the mother of the boy, played by Lori Loughlin.Everyone in the cast is just great as the 2 people fumble their way to love. The best part is that this film doesn't become tragic with someone getting killed at the end. That was a welcomed relief.Though the two wish to part company when Vince is to be shipped out, they thankfully come to their senses.You're left with such a good feeling when the film ends. Here are 2 people who never thought they could love again, how wrong they were and how lucky we are to have this film.

Usually I'm very wary with most TV films, especially those coming from the Lifetime, Oxygen, WE or Hallmark channels. Most are either the violent poor-poor-pitiful-me womens variety or they are so saccharine and preachy they make me gag! But "Meet My Mom" is a most pleasant film that didn't insult my spirit or my intelligence; I really cared what happened to the people involved.The plot, in short: 7 year-old Jared Marshall (Charles Henry Wilson) strikes up a school project pen pal in the form of Army Sergeant Vince Carerra (a genuinely warm Johnny Messner). When Sgt. Carerra returns from overseas, he decides to look up the young Jared and in the process makes friends with the young lad's mother (a fine Lori Loughlin). Very gently, with little moments of every day life, these three people begin to bond.Granted, it's not "Meet Me In St. Louis" and yet it is; there's a kindness to these characters that has been long missing from television (or films for that matter). It is so very nice to sit down to a film and watch it and care about characters without feeling like your soul has been sullied or your emotions masturbated.And it is always a delight to see the wonderful Stefanie Powers, this time as Lori Loughlin's mother, Louise Metcalf. Ms. Powers is a great anchor for any production and "Meet My Mom" is blessed to have her.The ending I won't spoil for you; Sgt. Carerra finds himself, after building a relationship with mother and son, ready to ship off once more overseas. Will they or won't they marry? The finale does satisfy, but don't bet the farm on a M-G-M happy ending.

This film tells the story of a seven year old boy who lives with his mum and grand mother after the divorce of his parent.the boy who is in a need of a father figure stars a relationship with a soldier marine who's is very far away on a mission the boy writes to him about his mum dad his parents divorce and then one day the soldier comes to visit him the boy's mum and its love at first sight.this film was shown today in the French channels For me I thought the movie was really well acted by all the actors and the storyline is also original and what I love about the movie is the fact that it was based in a small town.
