Mother’s Day should’ve been the film to watch on Mother’s Day come May 8th. But it’s really hard to recommend a film born out of suburban American formula to an Indian audience. Apart from the pretty faces and the challenges of raising kids, there’s nothing really that would connect with any of us.

It’s one thing to have protagonists with low IQ and make something funny, humane or entertaining out of it. It is another to show stupid people doing stupid things. Mother’s Day, which belongs to the latter section of films, shouldn’t have existed, just like the stupid, commercially manufactured annual event it derives its name from.
