Jamie Lee Goes Bad... March 27, 2009
Bindy Sue Fronkuenschtein (under the rubble)
MOTHER'S BOYS allows Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween 1 and 2, The Fog, Terror Train, Prom Night) to be the bad girl for a change (although she was semi-bad / good in Trading Places). Ms. Curtis jumps into her role as Jude, a crazed, sociopathic mum determined to take her family back. Of course, the fact that she deserted her husband and sons for 3 years is immaterial to her. Jude must have them at any cost, even if it means bumping off hubby's new girlfriend! This sets up some nice insane behavior for Jamie Lee to sink her beautiful teeth into. MOTHER'S BOYS is a fairly tense, nearly bloodless movie. The fun comes from watching the Jude character grow increasingly reckless, dangerous, and downright lethal. Oh yeah, she does flash a boobular as well, if you're into that. My goodness she is well put together! Beware the loose-fitting robe and bubble-bath sequences!...

Yes, the actress is ok but to say its erotic movie is as far as WMD in Iraq and in cases like this I use button called ff. As this flick is from Hollywood I didnt expected much anyway and too bad I cannot ask for my money back.
 Jamie Lee scarier than Jason December 8, 2008
Bob Waskiewicz (Wintersville, Ohio United States)
Curtis does a fantastic job playing the bad guy in "Mothers Boys." The ending is a cliff hanger,and just when you think the movies ended,your in for a scary suprise.I never even remember this film coming out in the early 90's.Its ashame it didn't get more attention.
Jamie Lee Curtis at her most wicked October 21, 2008
R. Pepper (Los Angeles)
If you are the type of person who enjoys thrillers with good stories that involve one psychotic blonde female doing anything she can to get what she wants, this one should happily be added into your collection. Like Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction) and Rebecca De Mornay (The Hand That Rocks the Cradle) before her, Jaime Lee Curtis portrays Jude Madigan who comes back to town after a few years of being away wanting her husband and three boys back in her life. Unfortunately her husband is seeing a new woman and wants to get a divorce. Since this was the second time Jude had left, her husband is not as forgiving as the first time. But Jude will not let anything stand in the way of her happiness even if that involves eliminating the competition or as Jude says "There is no competition." I thought Jaime Lee Curtis played the part to perfection and was such fun to watch. You will relish in some of the juicy dialogue she gets to deliver. Curtis has showcased her amazing talent in some very diverse roles over the years. Making a start in horror films then moving into comedies with her own sitcom and also A Fish Called Wanda, becoming an action star in True Lies, playing a psycho in Mother's Boys and starring in the heartwrenching tv movie drama Nicholas' Gift. Well this role ranks amongst her best. She is deliciously evil, diabolically sexy and sinister to the core. This is the type of movie you can watch again and again. Kudos to Jaime Lee for this amazing effort! Also featuring the wonderful Vanessa Redgrave in a supporting role as Jude's mother.
 lacking, but good enough April 29, 2008
B. E Jackson (Pennsylvania)
Mother's Boys was a so-so suspense movie. It felt like one of those "made for TV" movies. You know, the kind that's forced to lack the serious suspense and special kind of extreme violence in order to avoid aggravating all the sensitive people who are easily offended by such things.
It's about a mother who disappears for a while and returns one day and demands to see her children and start a family again. She's totally insane though, and wouldn't mind killing or doing evil things just to get her way.
Throughout the movie, the story builds between her and her oldest son, and the friendship between the two develops more and more until she's finally able to convince her son that she's the one who's normal, while everyone else is wrong.
She comes up with this amazing plan in the end that involves her oldest son killing his father's girlfriend, only for it to come back and bite her on the behind.
I won't spoil the ending, but it's the best part of the movie, and honestly, it wasn't even that great.
