Best movie of this year hands down!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Well this is the third movie starring Patty McCormack in the Bad Seed franchise. In the original she plays Rhoda, and in the (unofficial) sequels she is a mother herself never been called by her first name, she just goes by Mommy and Mrs Sterling. Been charged of murder which happened in "Mommy" and sentenced to death she somehow escapes this fate and gets a drug implanted in her arm which should keep her murdering drifts down. But as soon as she is free she notices that there are people who want to see her fail and locked up again. She also has a restriction order on seeing her daughter Jessica Anne played by Rachel Lemieux. Rachel Lemieux now a bit older has grown in her role and it's great how she stands up for her mother at times. I particularly liked how she handled that big boy in school saying "watch out maybe it runs in the family". Killings happen but is Mommy the culprit or is there some copycat at work? I have my ideas who did those killings and not going to give it away. This one is really on par with "Mommy" movie.

The Original Mommy was amazing but when I saw this I was disgusted by the poor effort put into this movie. The story is lame and pointless. There is 0% Gore and the editing is poor. The title is lame, the acting is horrible and the plot seems to go nowhere. The first Mommy was great but this is just rubbish. The story is confusing and set a distance away from the first movie. What a load of crap. . What does the title have to do with the story? Mommy's Day? Why not Mommy's Revenge or Mommy Restored?** Story 1.0/10 Horrible Story ** Acting 4/10 Bad Acting** Gore 0.1/10 Virtually No Gore** Overall 1.7/10. Major Plot Holes: Why did Mommy get released in the end if she is mentally ill??

While this movie has a freakin' tidal wave of murders. It still does not live up to the original. This type of movie wasn't made to have countless, senseless murders. It was made to be atmospheric and keep you guessing. And this time around it did not do that for me. Also, Brinke's acting went downhill in this one and the little girl turned into a little brat. This movie just sucks. 1 out of 10.

I first read the short story Mommy by Max Allan Collins in a compilation called Fears, and was eager to see the film when it was first released on home video. While Mommy was a fine enough film, Mommy's Day really shines as an extension of the first film yet holding its own well enough. This is actually a superior thriller to Mommy, though needing that first film to base this continuing story on. And a nice DVD treatment as well, I snatched both Mommy and Mommy's Day up at the same time. After escaping a lethal injection for the murders Mommy (Patty McCormack) had committed, she is given a special implant in her arm that will keep her from having homicidal urges. However, since she still tries to see her daughter and other murders are continuing, it doesn't look very good for Mommy. What ensues is a nicely paced, clever mystery that really will draw you in. Considering the budget and only a few weeks to shoot, this is a great example of how you can make a good film with little money. This film proves that Muscatine, Iowa is just as good of a place for a film as anywhere! An exceptionally good cast, brisk story and nicely placed surprises make Mommy's Day a refreshing mystery. Seeing Patty McCormack, Rachel Lemieux, Paul Petersen, Gary Sandy, Brinke Stevens, Mickey Spillane and even other actors from the first film disguised a little to play different ones in this one -- it's a nice surprise how it all just works so well. I'm a mystery buff and have seen many Italian giallo films so that I can usually figure a mystery out rather quickly, but Mommy's Day has a witty tone that even had me wondering up to the end what was really going on. Those that pick this film apart are most likely spoiled from having seen many mega-million dollar Hollywood productions. For the rest that are open-minded and are willing to give the underdogs a chance, Mommy's Day is a fun time and worth seeking out. If you love a good mystery, this will not disappoint! And the country song spoof "If Life Was Fair" sung by Patty McCormack is a total HOOT!!
