9 Movie Moms We Wish Were Ours

Easy A
Sony

We love our mothers. We wouldn't be here without them. As the years tick by, we become grateful for all the stuff that Mom bugged us about at the time – eating our vegetables, not sitting too close to the television, wearing warm clothes, paying attention in school, etc.

But sometimes, we wish our moms were a little cooler, and more like the ones we see in movies. Our moms grounded us for calling people names and wouldn't let us go to concerts.

Don't you worry, citizens of Durham. Colin Firth will save your town!

The "King's Speech" star headlines what appears to be the most earnest-looking drama in quite some time, swooping into "Main Street" with a plan to save a small southern town from economic and social collapse.

The ensemble includes Orlando Bloom as the policeman in love with Amber Tamblyn, who's dodging the advances of her creepo boss (Andrew McCarthy, who looks like he's barely aged a day since "Less Than Zero"). Patricia Clarkson and Ellen Burstyn (of course those two are in this movie!) are on hand to provide low-key wit and sass. Get More »
