(2008) 90% (%) 0) NYT Critics' Pick http://movies.nytimes.com/2008/08/22/movies/22momm.html * * * * "See my profile for the key to this code" * * * * SYNOPSIS: "Bumped from a flight back to Los Angeles and his life, Mikey returns to his childhood home, a cluttered Manhattan loft presided over by his bohemian parents. His mother tells him he may stay as long as he wants. What begins as a respite from adult responsibility becomes a premature mid-life crisis. Re-installed in a house saturated with two generations of bric-a-brac evoking days gone by, Mikey starts to regress and drift back to an awkward youth he never outgrew." CONSENSUS: "Moody yet touching, "Momma's Man" successfully illustrates with elegant simplicity the struggles of a man consumed with his adolescence." MOTIVATION FOR ME TO SEE: A high RT score (90%) d a NYT Critics' Pick make it easy to take a chance. [New purchase by HCL]
