    Decent, but kinda wrong, I mean the cast is great, mainly Leonor Watling, but the plot is confusing and a little boring.

    a little trite, and trying too hard to be almodovar-cool. but the title song is fun, as is hearing the romanian chick deadpan "no puede ser" every 5 mins.

Elvira, Sol, and Jimena -- named for women in the life of El Cid -- are so spoiled and blind to their mother's happiness that they're often thoroughly unpleasant. Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle

A sometimes cloying mix of screwball comedy and drama. Full Review

Less side-splitting than a sad reminder of the past. Full Review

Offers some pleasures along the way, including an engaging performance by Leonor Watling.

Susan Walker, Toronto Star

Despite the promise of its title, this is a movie that skirts the issues of gay relationships at every turn. Full Review

My Mother Likes Women wants keenly to be hip and modern, but really it's just an old-fashioned drawing-room comedy. Full Review

Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News

No matter how hard My Mother Likes Women tries to be witty and insightful, it emerges Almodóvar Lite. Full Review

The film and its star, Watling, could not be more off-putting. Full Review

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

My Mother Likes Women will make you smile and feel generously enlightened at the same time. Full Review

Gene Seymour, Newsday

It's trying so hard to be a crowd-pleaser that it never stops to think that you might want to find its characters' behavior believable. Full Review
