Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Okay.. I know that 5/10 is a crime when it comes to rating a film which people have hated alike. But, it's Uma Thurman's grunts and gasps throughout the movie that left me hanging. She plays the average exhausted New York mom with flair. And, I must tell you... I reinvented my liking for blogs through Motherhood. There's a particular scene in a bakery where three women discuss different blogs and Uma learns that other consider hers to be feminist. I'm giving away any more about this surprisingly different film. Not much movies concentrate on a married middle-aged woman's problems. Uma's rant in the street is a glorified example. No one's gonna believe that REALLY happened a few years ago. I'd say... give it a shot. But, don't expect a lot. You'll like it to some extent.

I don't always like the "german" titles American (or other "foreign") movies get in Germany. But in this instance, I think the title (which I wrote as my summary line) fits better than the original title. It also might get some people off the case/movie, who seem to genuinely hate the movie. I don't think, the filmmakers went out there, to show us the "ultimate" truth about parenthood (or motherhood for that matter), but just a slice of life.Of course that doesn't mean, that the movie has no deficits. It seems a bit unbalanced and one sided at times. But it still has quite a few moments. And depending on your likings, you might nod your head in agreement or shake it in disagreement/disgust. It's definitely a movie that was made for a specific audience. Hate it or love it for it

I started watching this movie with more or less open mind, except for the fact that the genre was said to be "comedy". Therefore, I expected a humorous description of the life of a mother. Unfortunately, Motherhood failed completely for me. There was no humour at all, unless you count a couple of forced unfunny jokes. But there wasn't enough drama to call this a drama either. It seems to me that the director/writers did not actually know what they were making and someone in marketing decided to call it humour.Now to the spoilers: For the first hour or so, the movie showed Uma Thurman running errands and blogging and encountering various sorts of people. Running errands may be part of motherhood, but it certainly is only a small part of it. Then, for the last half an hour, the movie focused on light drama as the blogging mother finally finds a way to describe what motherhood means to her (while the father is having fun with the kids and spending time with them). Unfortunately, none of what she ends up describing was ever shown on screen - she never showed that side of motherhood to the viewers and thus her description feels empty and tagged on. A lie, in short.I must further add that I'm a father of a two-year-old and my wife is naturally a mother. Neither of us saw anything in this movie relating to our life. Except that we are always busy, but we didn't really need to be told that. ;)

I really disliked this movie, as it portrays an extreme situation, with people who are clearly irresponsible and aren't up to the task of properly raising a child. The husband was obviously retarded and gained a little fortune only by pure chance, which was really pathetic and didn't redeem his character at all in the end, although that was clearly what the directors intended. The entire movie is a confusing and annoying piece of trash. I'm sure such situations do exist, probably even worse, but trying to globalize this as being the usual motherhood is disgusting and discouraging to any future mother to be. I refuse to believe that the characteristics of a modern day mother is being hysterical, bitching, screaming, always dead-tired and frustrated, not to mention the father being a retarded being, showing absolutely no interest in raising a child or helping around the house. Instead, he is collecting old books, based on the idiotic hope of accidentally gaining a fortune someday which, bummer, actually happens in the end. Money clearly wasn't the main problem in this family, it was the lack of communication and team work, which remains unsolved even after the credits roll.Avoid, if you're willing to waste your time, waste it on a bad movie that can be perceived as entertaining, which is clearly not the case here.
