Simply average

My Mom's New Boyfriend is one of that movies which is very difficult to write about because their elements are not bad but they are not particularly good either so,there is not too much to talk about.My Mom's New Boyfriend is an average comedy and I had a good time watching it...but the experience is completely forgettable.The actors are good on their roles.Meg Ryan,Antonio Banderas,Colin Hanks and Selma Blair bring decent performances,although they do not have too much to do.As I said at the beginning of this commentary,there is not much to talk about this movie.My Mom's New Boyfriend is a mediocre but entertaining comedy.I would recommend to watch it on DVD if there are not any other options.
