Watch Helicopter Mom For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

One of my all time favorites.

Just what I expected

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Helicopter MomThe most annoying aspect of Helicopter Mom is that a decent story idea was squandered on a dull, slightly offensive movie.The wasted idea was showing a 17 year old guy trying to figure out his sexuality in a realistic and open way. In coming-of-age films the questioning kid is usually portrayed as secretive or troubled. It's rare to see a character be matter of fact and not bothered about his same sex attraction.But other than that unusual bit, Helicopter Mom is largely forgettable. It's not unwatchable, it's just difficult to recall afterwards. The main story is about a mother incredibly wrapped up in her son's life. Her focus on her son is played as humorous but there's nothing funny about it, the woman just comes across as obnoxious. The production is plain, very made-for-TV. The acting is adequate. The most memorable part of Helicopter Mom is a minor plot point featuring two young gay guys who are portrayed in such a cliché manner their presence is actually offensive.  The cartoon gay stereotypes seem weirdly out of place in a film that has the rare portrayal of a teen figuring out his sexuality in a realistic manner. But just one small scene with a bitchy, screaming queen gay character makes the one good aspect of Helicopter Mom, the realistic main teen character, seem like a complete accident.

This movie is hysterical!!! Found myself bursting out in laughter at home - so much so that my roommate ended up coming out of her room and watching it with me. Nia is priceless as a single mother trying to keep her son from flying the nest. It's funny and sad and honest and packs a punch that got me and my roommate into a really interesting discussion about high school. I thought the casting was perfect too. Really loved Jason Dolley (never heard of him before watching but would watch other things with him in it) as the young kid and his bf is so cute (and handsome). Mark Boone Jr. was awesome as the dad too - om that dinner scene with the young gay guy was so funny!If you're looking for a laugh out loud flick this is it!

What the hell is Nia Vardalos doing acting in this POS of a movie? Did she even bother reading the script? Did she owe director Salome Breziner a favor so huge to agree to lower herself by being in this rubbish and, in turn, severely hurt her chances of ever being in a legit film ever again? Mark Boone is a friend of Salome's but come on Jr., sometimes you just gotta look after your own arse and say "no."Duke Tran, the film's screenwriter, has absolutely zero talent and suffice it to say I highly doubt he'll ever find a writing job in Hollywood, or anywhere for that matter, ever again. Salome...what the hell are you wasting your talent directing rubbish like this? This is way below your level! As far as the producers go, which moron out of the bunch read this script and jumped in the air and said "I have to make this!" I would put money on it that not one of the producers has been educated past the 12th grade...and that's being generous!Okay, now that I got that out of the way, her we go:Attempting to make an overbearing character endearing is a tricky proposition, and it's one that Nia fails miserably at in this film. The story of a mother who tries to steamroll her sexually confused teenage son into adopting a gay lifestyle, Nia quickly wears out her welcome. Stupid concept, stupid execution.BOTTOM LINE: This poorly written rubbish fails on every level!
