In case you need a reminder, Mother's Day will be Sunday, May 10. That you'll be able to see your mom in person this year, you can still treat her with a movie Thanksgiving Day thanks to services like Netflix Party and Metastream.
Below, we've compiled some movie options to watch with all kinds of moms this weekend, whether you're a rom-com junkie or a horic aficionado. They all feature motherly, passionate love relationships, from Jamie Lee Curtis from Judy Greer in 2018 Halloween sequels to Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis who swipes bodies inside Freaky Friday. Well Jamie Lee Curtis, this is what we say.
Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife

Both of these special stand-up items on Ali Wong's Netflix, which he did when he was seven months pregnant, are extremely professional. But for our purposes his second choice, Stronger Woman of Slackness, has many jokes about being a mom. Warned: Wong's jokes raunchy. If your mom is not cool about sex talk or f-bombs, choose a romance she wrote with her colleague Randall Park, Always Be My Own.
Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife is distributed to Netflix.
He is bent like Beckham

Jess Bhamra (Parminder Nagra) instills her love for soccer (for us soccer, for us Americans) in anticipation of her family who can bear the 2002 joke. When Jess joins the football league with the help of her friend Juliet (Keira Knightley), she quickly establishes herself as a star player, but has to hide her success from her parents. Directed by Gurinder Chada (The Bride and Prejudice, Light is blinded) Hold it like Beckham explores the complexity of family complexity in a fun and touching story. You and I will be singing “Hot Heat Explosion" all day.
Hold it like Beckham is distributed to Hulu.
Cool Asian Asians

Based on Kevin Kwan's novel of the same name, Cool Asian Asians stars Constance Wu as Rachel, a NYU professor who has fallen into Singapore's high society when her boyfriend Nick (Henry Golding) brings her home for a family wedding. While the bulk of Cool Asian Asians she deals with Rachel's conflicts within Nick's family, especially with her terrified mother, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh,) scenes between Rachel and her mother Kerry (Tan Kheng Hua) during one of the film's most exciting moments.
Cool Asian Asians is distributed to HBO (also available by Hulu and Amazon Prime add-ons.)
Freaky Friday

The first of 1976 Freaky Friday stars Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster, rehearsals in 2003 with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, and the Disney Channel Original Movie broadcast on Disney Plus. Depending on when your mom grew up, she might have chosen the 1967 model, but in my mind there's nothing better than Jamie Lee. She and Lohan have amazing chemistry as mother and daughter magically transform places, and her feeling of a poisonous young man trapped in her mother's body is just as delightful.
Freaky Friday is distributed to Disney Plus.
Gray Gardens

Documents showing her mother and daughter rebuilt, Big Edie and Little Edie, who live in a dilapidated building in East Hampton, New York, for Mother's Day views. It's amazing to get into the world that these two independent women make their own in Gray Gardens, especially when Little Edie composes poems about what she wants in life or Big Edie sings "Tea for Two."
Gray Gardens is distributed to Tasting Station.
Halloween
Universal Pictures
If your mom is a bad boyfriend, follow the 2018 lineup to John Carpenter & # 39; s Halloween, and entitled Halloween, very sweet. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode, whose resentment with Michael Myers puts strain on his relationship with his daughter (Judy Greer) and his grandson (Andi Matichak). It's a work that empowers the genre of horror, where Judy Greer delivers one of the highest-grossing readings of all time with a simple Gotcha. (Just wait.)
Halloween is distributed to Cinemax (also available by Hulu and Amazon Prime add-ons.)
Lady bird
A24
Greta Gerwig's upcoming-age film stars Saoirse Ronan as a creative high school student, Christine, who takes revenge on the Lady bird (Saoirse Ronan) by disappointing her working mother, Marion (Laurie Metcalf). Their antagonistic relationships will feel familiar to former angry students. When you look at your mother, it may be that both of them are in tears and / or apologizing for everything you say to each other at that moment.
Lady bird is distributed to Amazon Prime.
Mamma Mia! There they are
Jonathan Prime / Universal Pictures
Anyway Mamma Mia's fun films! the franchises are the perfect movies for moms, though Mamma Mia! There they are you have Cher singing “Fernando,” who threatens her at the edge to compliment us.
Mamma Mia! There they are is distributed to HBO (also available by Hulu and Amazon Prime add-ons.)
My Great Greek Wedding Dress

Another sweet treat for a tightly knit guest family, My Great Greek Wedding Dress is based on a semi-autobiographical one by the woman and co-star Nia Vardalos. If you want to watch something airy and fun, this is the movie to choose from. The stats are very low, John Corbett is adorable, and Tom Hanks produced. What should you not like?
My Great Greek Wedding Dress available on Hulu.
Troop Beverly Hills

Troop Beverly Hills reaches the top According to Blonde and The House Bunny when it comes to movies about women, “superheroes” who lower expectations and get overlooked in order to gain weight. Sherly Long stars as Phyllis, a wealthy sociopath who takes over as the leader of her daughter's army to maintain their relationship amid opposing divorce. (Daughter, Hannah, played by the youngest Jenny Lewis) A stupid and fun movie, with hair and costumes in the '80s that will look familiar to most mothers.
Troop Beverly Hills is distributed to The tube.
