妈妈的新男友 My Mom's New Boyfriend review by David Nusair

Despite the presence of such genuinely talented performers as Colin Hanks, Selma Blair, and Antonio Banderas, My Mom's New Boyfriend essentially comes off as an unmitigated disaster virtually from its opening frames. Filmmaker George Gallo offers up an atmosphere of amateurishness that's exacerbated by a curious lack of laughs, with star Meg Ryan's ineffective, distinctly over-the-top performance certainly not helping matters. The storyline follows straight-laced FBI agent Henry Durand (Colin Hanks) as he finds himself forced to contend with his free-spirited mother's (Ryan's Marty) exotic new boyfriend (Banderas' Tommy), though his problems increase substantially after it's revealed that Tommy is, in fact, a notorious art thief. The degree to which Gallo squanders the relatively promising set-up is nothing short of astonishing, as the writer/director's sitcom-like modus operandi makes it virtually impossible for one to wholeheartedly buy into the film's premise or characters. Hanks' affable work is rendered moot by the relentless silliness, while the painfully melodramatic third act will leave even the film's fans furiously rolling their eyes. And although there is admittedly a pretty funny bit of physical comedy towards the end (in which several characters enter a house by jumping through different windows), My Mom's New Boyfriend is otherwise a hopelessly inept misfire that ultimately fits comfortably within Gallo's almost uniformly underwhelming filmography.
