The new movie 'Mother's Day' is getting a lot of super harsh reviews

Mother's Day — the new ensemble comedy about moms starring Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, and Julia Roberts — is getting some of the world's worst reviews. I mean, the worst reviews. I've put together some of the worst of the worst — and it wasn't hard because again, there are so many — and man, they are harsh. I was planning on taking my mom for Mother's Day but maybe we'll get brunch instead?!

1. "Director Garry Marshall is a menace. He keeps killing holidays with all-star comedies in which a laugh would die of loneliness. First, Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve got the Marshall treatment. Now Mother's Day takes the hit from Marhall's marauders, out to trick a bunch of poor, movie-loving moms to take a chance on this turkey on their special day. - Rolling Stone

2. "Is it too much to ask that all these holiday-themed rom-coms — Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve and now Mother's Day — one day merge with the Halloween movies? Michael Myers might be the only one in either franchise with a truly cutting response to all the rhetorical musings about relationships romantic, familial and platonic." - LA Weekly. 

3. "It's hard to know where to begin with Mother's Day, a misshapen Frankenstein of a movie that feels like it escaped the Hallmark headquarters halfway through its creation and rampaged into theaters, trying to teach audiences how to love. " - The Atlantic

4. "The best scene in Mother's Day comes at the very end. It's one of the bloopers thrown into the tail credits, and it features Julia Roberts sitting at a table in a restaurant, looking distant as a train rolls by." - The Ex-Press

5. "Watching the new Garry Marshall film is akin to going to watch an actor friend in a scene study showcase. You have a bunch of thespians on-stage doing random scenes that sometimes go together, and oftentimes don't. At least the showcase is probably a little less painful than the slow and unfunny new comedy MOTHER'S DAY." - JoBlo

6. "Much about Mother's Day is easy to mock, including the overlit squeaky-clean images, the clumsy use of green screen and stunt doubles, and the excited references to social media platforms as if these were the newest, edgiest thing. Most disconcerting of all is the lack of drama: there are no villains nor any conflicts that can't be swiftly resolved." - The Age

7. "Even with a reduced cast list, Mother's Day feels both overstuffed and undernourished, filled with subplots that simply don't need to exist." - Consequence of Sound

8. "Marshall's worst film, making dreck like "Raising Helen," "The Other Sister," and "Georgia Rule" feel like summer vacations next to this appallingly idiotic and insulting picture." - Blu-Ray.com

9. "'Mother's Day' is a total mess, but what's truly offensive is that they didn't even try to make this cynical, post-Sunday brunch cash grab even remotely watchable. Your mom deserves so much better this Mother's Day." - The Chicago Tribune
