While the filmmakers have crafted compelling characters and conundrums, they unfortunately fail to give them better connective tissue and a satisfying third act. Read full review

The three lead actresses also produced the film, presumably because there are not enough good roles for women over 35. They need to look a little harder. Read full review

Nominal laughs plus three reliable actresses equals the very mediocre Otherhood. Read full review

Otherhood does have a few genuine and genuinely funny moments — thanks largely to its stars — but they’re overshadowed by the bad behavior of both the mothers and their sons. Read full review

Sometimes the characters have reasonable motivations and valid points - but most of the time all the characters are just unlikeable

Once I had rolled my eyes 10 times I shut it down. It makes Hallmark movies look like Academy Award nominees. Terrible acting, terrible plotlines, just terrible in every conceivable way.
