Mama's Boy (2007)

There is nothing new in this dramedy. Jon Heder continues in his trademark shlub. {Hope it's not by choice because his mouth breathing is borderline annoying.} Heder is Jeffery a 29 year old mama's boy who's sweet digs are threatened when mom, Jan (Diane Keaton) falls in love with motivational speaker Mert Rosenbloom (Jeff Daniels).

So there is nothing remotely new about Mama's Boy, but it still manages to grab a few laughs thanks to Anna Faris as Nora. She steals the show with her dead-pan delivery. Daniels plays his motivational speaker role for laughs. Eli Wallach, yes, the one and only Eli Wallach (1966's The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly) gets a bit part as Jeffery's book-store employer/owner {and is amazing!!}

The larping scenes were ridiculous and Nora's turn at the mike was great, but the story is predictable.

Mama's Boy (see also The Benchwarmers) is average forgettable comedy with a tight soundtrack and Heder in some awesome threads.
