When I first heard about this movie--Sissy Spacek as a harried single mother whose kids wish her completely away, replacing her with a series of subs, all portrayed by Spacek in different guises--I thought it sounded great, and just the boost Sissy's career needed. But what a disappointment "Trading Mom" turns out to be. Poorly-paced and produced, it looks brackish and flat, and features the kind of movie-kids that make your teeth ache. As for Spacek, she's fine(as always)but is defeated by the colorless script. Some brief flashes of wit, nothing more.
*1/2 from ****
