Mother
No one misunderstands you better.
She packed your lunch, tolerated your music and looked forward to the day you'd be happily on your own. If anyone qualifies as unforgettable, it's Mom. Albert Brooks is star, co-writer and director of this comic valentine about a twice-divorced author who decided the only way to fix his relationship problems is to move back to his childhood home and resolve the conflicts he had with the first woman in his life — Mom (Debbie Reynolds, winning raves in her first starring film role in 27 years). For laughs as only Albert Brooks can deliver, come home to "Mother." This clever and subtle comedy gem also stars Rob Morrow and Lisa Kudrow.

A neurotic, twice divorced sci-fi writer moves back in with his mom to solve his personal problems. Debbie Reynolds is magnificent as the mother, she has that maniacal sense of motherly perfection that all of our mother's, at the very least, attempt to portray.
Rob Morrow is also hilarious as the jealous younger brother. Every scene between him and Brooks is a laugh riot, because they both seem to regress to their younger days when they would fight over toys and the remote control. All in all, I think this film is something everyone can relate to on some level. We have all had one or two of these wretchedly embarrassing moments with our mothers, and it is more than likely that they will happen again.
