Dear Mother

Beyond the pleasurable chaos of it all, the gags about female genitalia grow trite and juvenile - and not in a lovable way.

“Dear Mother” can be your watch if you want to indulge in some French absurdity. Though it is not marvelous, the film will keep you entertained.

This could have been an interesting movie about so many things with a weird, humorous vehicle for the plot. But instead, [Dear Mother] is just an embarrassing attempt to make light of something that isn’t funny under any circumstance.

This comedy is often wacky and ridiculous, but too much of its chaos is too hard not to grimace at.
