It seems Mother of the Bride has not impressed critics, however, landing the lowest possible score on Rotten Tomatoes. Among the issues raised, some suggested that it is "predictable" and "more like a hotel advertisement" than a movie.
Here's what reviewers have been saying:
The Guardian
"It’s a slight cut above just how very bad these things can get, but not enough to edge it toward something that would deserve your full attention. So errand away, Mother of the Bride will be just fine playing in the background."
Paste
"You know when you check into a hotel and the default TV channel is the hotel promotion channel? Serene music plays as people eat delicious hotel food, workout without sweating in the glam hotel gym and get the best sleep of their lives in a luxurious hotel bed? The new Netflix movie Mother of the Bride is kind of like that, except with Brooke Shields, Benjamin Bratt, iCarly and the guy from One Tree Hill."
Movie Nation
"'Innocuous, predictable and well-cast' is about all the praise Mother of the Bride warrants, unless you consider another movie featuring the lovely scenery of Phuket, Thailand a deal-maker."
Mark Reviews Movies
"There's not a single original idea in Mother of the Bride, which starts to look more like a hotel advertisement than an actual movie."
The Weekend Warrior
"This is absolute garbage, to the point where I really can’t find anything good to say about it, other than it’s a movie… that somehow got greenlit and released… by Netflix, no less."
Mother of the Bride is streaming now on Netflix.
