Summary: When did this movie hit the theaters?
Review: Apparently this was one of those movies for which there was not a big publicity budget. Too bad, because Jamie Lee Curtis' acting stands out, and as a big fan of her, I admit she also looks gorgeous! The suspense type of movie. Very good for a weekend...

Summary: Jamie Lee Curtis Is Great In This Intense Thriller!!!
Review: Every other movie i've seen with Jamie Lee Curtis in it she was the good guy! This is the only movie i've ever seen where she is the psychopath, not Michael Myers! She gave a very intense and violent performance as a jealous, psychotic ex-wife who returns three years later after abruptly deserting her family. But before she gets a chance to resume where she left off, she discovers that her place as the wife and mother has already been taken by another woman. She quickly turns against her husband and begins terrorizing the woman as she brainwashes her kid's minds. She completly wrecks havoc on her family. The DVD seemed a bit quiet so I turned up the volume to where I could understand what they were saying. But when the scary parts would come, WOW! I had to turn the volume way down...like at the scene where Jamie Lee Curtis grabs the picture of her husband and his new wife together and smashes it on her face, takes a piece of the broken glass and begins cutting herself, as she trashes the woman's office. And the scene where she breaks the mirror and punches out the windows. It scared me because it would get so loud!!! But it's still a great movie.

Summary: Review of Mother's Boys (Film)
Review: I think that this film is superb.
It wonderfully creates an atmosphere of tension and release which makes it both dramatic and gripping.
Jamie Lee Curties shines in her role as the somewhat psychologically disturbed mother, but performs with style and flair. The support cast is equally excellent, and this movie is entertaining from beginning to end. I rate this 5 stars as it goes along side my other favourite films and it is one that you can watch over and over without tiring of it.

Summary: Predictable? Yes. But still Good...
Review: Indeed, it is a predictable premise...only instead of the psychotic ex lover, it's the psychotic soon to be ex-wife...out to get "her family" back. Jamie Lee Curtis is chillingly convincing as Jude, the maniac woman who left her family three years previous. Now she's back, and she'll do anything to keep her family. This is probably the only movie of Jamie's besides True Lies that I like - she does psychopath extremely well. The other adult characters in the movie, with the exception of Jude's mother, (played by Vanessa Redgrave, with a pretty good resemblance to Jamie btw...) are imbeciles, but Jamie makes it all worth while. She's that good...she's sick, and she convinced me-- whether she's trying to molest her 12 year old son or get the family dog run over by a car, she's got what it takes to make us believe it and make us all want her dead. Peter Gallagher was better in While You Were Sleeping - at least he was supposed to be comatose there. It's a little cheezy, it's kind of cliche, it's fairly pretictable - but it isn't a total waste. And be sure to let the closing credits play - the theme song, "The Longest Night" is beautifully haunting and will make your hair stand up.

Summary: Terrifying!
Review: Jamie Lee Curtis as the borderline ex-wife was nail-biting. She's a completely out-of-control, violent, and extremly jealous ex-wife who tries to be with her family again after abandoning them 3 years earlier. But her husband has already found a new woman. This causes a nightmare for the family as she begins threatening and terrorizing the new woman. She becomes her family's worst enemy as she constantly breaks and enters, destroys property, and tells lies to her children about their father, etc...A very good thriller.

Summary: OVERLOOKED CHILLER
Review: Jamie Lee Curtis is a much better actress than most people have ever realized. Typically cast as the terrified young ingenue who could really screen, e.g., HALLOWEEN, Curtis takes a turn as the woman from hell in this underrated chiller. She joins a list of notables in this genre: Jessica Walter in PLAY MISTY FOR ME; Patsy Kensit in HELL'S GATE; Kathleen Turner in BODY HEAT; Glenn Close in FATAL ATTRACTION; Rebecca DeMornay in HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE, to name just a few. And Jamie's right up there with them.
Jamie plays a mother who abandons her family twice, once for 3 months and then for three years. All of a sudden, she's back and she wants her family. However, hubby Peter Gallagher has fallen in love with assistant principal Joanne Whalley-Kilmer and is going to divorce Jamie Lee. Jamie's mama, played low key and convincingly by the still lovely Vanessa Redgrave, also thinks the divorce is for the best, harboring a surprising secret to justify this. Of course, Jamie does everything within her power to get hubby and boys back, including poisoning the oldest son's (Luke Edwards, an excellent performance) feelings towards his new mother.
There are some disturbing scenes involving incestuous overtones between Curtis and Edwards that are handled tastefully, and there are three scenes that will pull you out of your chairs!
Curtis exudes a sensuality and evil never seen in her prior to this. With "Freaky Friday" and memories of this gem, Curtis will someday get the Oscar and praise she deserves!

Summary: Jamie Did This One For The Money
Review: This is an OK thriller. The shortcomings in the script are compensated for by Gallager and Jamie Lee Curtis. I have never seen Jamie look so sexy and so evil. She is quite convincing as is Peter Gallager. The actress that plays his wife is awful and is as one-dimensional and phony as a paper doll. The weird sexual tension in the bathtub scene has burned a image of Jamie Lee's wet buttocks in my mind. Get the DVD just for that.
