SPOILERS ** written, directed, and starring helen hunt. Uh, oh... that's sometimes the kiss of death, when the same person does it all. Mom (hunt) follows her son angelo (thwaites) out to the sunny beaches of californy. We're not quite sure why. It seems to be to check up on him. She's completely controlling, and is nagging everyone. Her limo driver is ramon ( david zayas, who was angel on dexter). A small role for mike white from chuck and buck. Luke wilson is in here as mom's surf instructor, but she refuses to do what he says, so we get sick of watching that. Some scenes just went on way too long; i got sick of hearing mom nag her son. I got sick of watching mom wipe out on the surf board, over and over and over. We got it. And then she won't stop stalking angelo. She keeps showing up where-ever he goes. We finally find out why, but it didn't have to be hammered into us. Clearly, mom needed grief counseling that she never got. This one is just okay. I clicked spoilers, so i can tell you mom and son come to some agreement, sort of. But mom never talks about getting counseling. Which is too bad.
