The movie “Mother’s Day” was produced by Brandt Anderson, Howard Burd, Diamond Mark, Disalle Wayne Rice, and Mike Karz. It first premiered on April 29, 2016. 

“Mother’s Day” is about a few mothers who go through events that change their lives the week leading up Mother’s day. 

This movie stars Jennifer Aniston as Sandy, Kate Hudson as Jesse, Julia Roberts as Miranda Collins, Jason Sudeikis as Bradley, Timothy Olyphant as Henry and Shay Mitchell as Tina. The mothers (Sandy, Jesse, and Miranda) go through events that impact their life in good and bad ways the week leading up to Mothers day. 

A memorable scene from Mother’s Day is when Tina calls Sandy because she needs her help when Sandy’s son Mikey has an asthma attack and Tina isn’t sure what to do. Tina finds Mikey’s inhaler, but it’s empty and she starts to get scared, so she called Sandy to help her. Sandy told her where a spare inhaler was and told her to take Mikey to the freezer. Henry then came home and took Mikey to the hospital. Sandy met them there and Mikey was very happy to see her. 

Another memorable scene is when Jesse and her mother make up. They had been in a fight and hadn’t talked to each other in years. Jesse’s sister called her mom on Skype and made Jesse talk to her. As a surprise Jesse’s mom and dad came to visit her, but her mom decided to leave early after finding out her kids told her lies about their lives. Her mom then made a last minute decision to stay because she knew that she wanted to become close with Jesse again. 

Comparing “Mother’s Day” to “Valentine’s Day” they both have a bunch of stories that overlap as the movie goes on. In “Mother’s Day” Sandy’s story overlaps with Jesse’s and Bradley’s story. Sandy is best friends with Jesse and Sandy meets Bradley at the supermarket and meets him again at the hospital. In “Valentine’s Day” Captain Kate Hazeltine’s story overlaps with Holden’s story. His story overlaps with Sean Jackson. His story overlaps with Kara Monahan. Her story overlaps with Kelvin Moore. Captain Kate Hazeltine meets Holden on the plane ride back to their homes. Holden is on his way home to be with Sean Jackson. Sean Jackon’s agent is Kara Monahan. Kara met Kelvin while at a press event for Sean.
