Very funny film

Great film, typical Jon Heder movie. Perfect for a lazy Sunday. A funny film which left me wanting to watch more.

A definite must see if your a fan of Jon Heder, like myself!!..

Must say though my favourite Jon Heder films still remain the same

School for scoundrels and Napoleon dynamite, two very, very funny films!..

The characters are all acted reasonably well,

although some can be considered 'irritating' in certain places. Definitely rate mama's boy as a film to watch.

A funny ROM-com with a twist.
