Being a mom of four, I can say that I have had times where I feel unappreciated and almost invisible to my family. They know that mom will take care of things, so they give it little thought. It goes a long with the territory and I’m sure dads feel that way from time to time too.
In the movie, Mom’s Day Away, Laura has been pushed too far by her teenage children and has the mother of all breakdowns (Teenagers can do that to you..I know first hand). My family watched this as pat of our family movie night and were not disappointed.
Synopsis:
Stay-at-home mom Laura Miller (Bonnie Somerville) chose family life over a glamorous career. Her husband Michael (James Tupper), a workaholic realtor, eternally conducts business on his cell phone while her 17-year-old son (Iain Belcher) and 12-year-old daughter (Kaitlyn Bernard) are absorbed in their young life dramas. It’s Mother’s Day weekend and still nobody is paying attention to Laura’s needs. Excitement is injected into Laura’s life when her dazzling and affluent BFF Trish (Ona Grauer) shows up and whisks her off on an adventure-filled trip to a lavish resort.
Over this Mother’s Day weekend, Laura has an awakening, making up for lost time by overindulging in the resort’s luxurious offerings and rekindling her career aspirations. As Trish begins to reassess her own life choices during their time away, Laura considers that living her dreams won’t bring true happiness unless her family is along for the adventure.
