Watch Mommy For Free
Mommy
Patty McCormack's "Mommy" is psychotically obsessed with her 12-year-old daughter Jessica Ann -- so much so that when she finds out Jessica didn't get the "Student of the Year" award again, she solves the problem by murdering the teacher who didn't recommend her for it. She dismisses the killing as inconsequential ("a minor accident"), but the homicide detective assigned to the case suspects her immediately, and an insurance investigator who also suspects her tries to get close to Jessica Ann to find out what really happened.

Great Film overall
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
The first must-see film of the year.
The acting in this movie is really good.
This sounded A bit like the stepfather movies but much lower budget, which dose effect some parts of the movie.I found plot so-what in-trusting but I found to be bit bland, it started off not bad but the movie never really picked up.I don't think acting helped as I found everyone to be really wooden in this movie and other thing that I didn't like was the fact some of the scenes in this movie were so dark, you could not make out what the hell was going on.There was one think I did like, was one of death scenes with I thought was decent for this movie and another thing was that the ending was far to rushed. 2 out of 10 I won't be watching the sequel any time soon
Yes, it is low budget, and yes it is shot on video for the direct to DVD market but I've seen much, much, worse. I can only imagine that the critics of this movie went into it with the wrong expectations.Patty McCormack is great as the deranged Mommy, her performance is definitely over the top, just as it should be in this kind of movie. She's acting as hard as she can and it is not a role which calls for subtlety. Rachel Lemieux may not be the most accomplished actress in the world - but she's less annoying than most children in low budget films. It's also nice to see Brinke Stevens in a (more or less) dramatic role.If you are looking for a high quality movie with lots of drama, gore, and topless Brinke Stevens, this is definitely not it. However, if you're looking for something kind of campy which you can enjoy making fun of (in an MST3K kind of way) then you could do a lot worse than this.
I do not understand how this managed to get 5.3 stars. Firstly, the cast just plain suck, no decent actors in there at all. Second, the plot is ridiculous. The TV guide said it was rated 18, but I don't think there was any blood, swearing, sex or anything else you would find in an 18 movie in it. It's just a stupid movie. The plot about the psychotic mother is stupid, it's not suspenseful or thrilling. It just made me laugh at the sheer badness of it. The basic plot is that this little girl Jessica Ann lives in her house with her mum. Her mother always told her to do her best blahhdy blahhdy blah. Anyway, the girl doesn't win a prize at school, so the mother kills the teacher. This leads to a load of stupid deaths, boring dialogue and basically a bland, horrible film. If this film came out in the cinema, I would've killed someone it's that bad. If I were ever to see this movie again, I would take my eyes, douse them in a lethal acid so I couldn't see this poor excuse for a movie. Then, I would take two Q-Tips and insert them so far into my ears that they block out any sound so I would not have to listen to the poor acting of a plain bad script. Then, maybe if I had time, I would change the channel and watch Fairly Odd Parents.If this ever comes on TV, put something else on. Seriously, change the channel, don't waste your precious time on this hunk of garbage. End Of. x
I do realize this film was made on a limited budget, but they could have made it so much better. The shots were grainy, the lighting was bad, and the widescreen dvd version was hardly widescreen at all. Apparently Patty McCormack has forgotten how to act, because she was quite good in the Bad Seed. The supporting cast does the film no better. The apparent parallels to the original only act as an insult, especially since the modern counterparts pale in comparison to the characters in which they were based (ex. the janitor at school trying to play LeRoy) The effects were terrible, especially the gun shot scene, and the soundtrack was annoying. Why Patty McCormack passed up other offers before deciding to make this one is a mystery to me. It may have been a good idea on paper, but was executed poorly. This film can only be enjoyed for its camp quality, which in itself is hardly enough.
