Surprisingly enjoyable...
16 April 2021
I sat down in 2021 to watch the 2006 comedy titled "Honeymoon with Mom" for two reasons. First of all, it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, much less even ever heard of. And secondly, because it had Shelley Long on the cast list.

Granted, given the movie's title and synopsis, then I wasn't really expecting to be in for something grand here. But still, I opted to sit down and watch this comedy from writer Duane Poole and director Paul A. Kaufman.

Turned out, surprisingly enough, that "Honeymoon with Mom" was actually a rather enjoyable movie. Sure, the storyline was pretty straight forward, but it was actually a movie with heart and feeling. And thus, I have to admit that I ended up enjoying watching this movie.

Now, the movie is listed as being a comedy. Well, not overly sure about that, as the movie didn't really come off as being a comedy. A light comedy perhaps. But it is not the type of movie that will have you laughing. But it is more of a feel-good kind of movie.

The storyline along with some good performances by Shelley Long and Virginia Williams is the reason why this movie worked out so well.

I was genuinely entertained by "Honeymoon with Mom" and as such, my rating of this 2006 movie lands on a six out of ten stars. However, while it is a watchable movie and all, it is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.
