Preview: Momma's Man (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

Taking a scene from the film is a risky move even if it does adequately explain the film's plot without much effort. However, this looks like a serious version of one of the scenes from Step Brothers, which is probably not what they were going for.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

It's a bit depressing watching the trailer because the realism of the film is uncanny. It portrays a man who gets stuck in his dismal childhood in an attempt to escape his reality. It certainly looks like it could be a pensive film, but from the looks of the trailer, it seems more of a downer than a heart-warmer.

Oscar Prospects:

It could figure in a couple of minor categories at the Spirit Awards, but this isn't the Academy's cup of tea.

Release Date:
