Review of Helicopter Mom

1/10
This poorly written rubbish fails on every level!
15 May 2015
What the hell is Nia Vardalos doing acting in this POS of a movie? Did she even bother reading the script? Did she owe director Salome Breziner a favor so huge to agree to lower herself by being in this rubbish and, in turn, severely hurt her chances of ever being in a legit film ever again? Mark Boone is a friend of Salome's but come on Jr., sometimes you just gotta look after your own arse and say "no."

Duke Tran, the film's screenwriter, has absolutely zero talent and suffice it to say I highly doubt he'll ever find a writing job in Hollywood, or anywhere for that matter, ever again. Salome...what the hell are you wasting your talent directing rubbish like this? This is way below your level! As far as the producers go, which moron out of the bunch read this script and jumped in the air and said "I have to make this!" I would put money on it that not one of the producers has been educated past the 12th grade...and that's being generous!

Okay, now that I got that out of the way, her we go:

Attempting to make an overbearing character endearing is a tricky proposition, and it's one that Nia fails miserably at in this film. The story of a mother who tries to steamroll her sexually confused teenage son into adopting a gay lifestyle, Nia quickly wears out her welcome. Stupid concept, stupid execution.

BOTTOM LINE: This poorly written rubbish fails on every level!
