What's it about: A silly attempt to raise a few chuckles at the expense of cashing in on Meg Ryan's worn-out charm and smile. As the title suggests the story is about a boy who finds it a tad bit uncomfortable seeing his mom with her new boyfriend.

Henry (Colin Hanks) hasn't seen his mom (Meg Ryan) for over three years. Being an FBI agent, he needs to be on the field and work keeps him away from family.

Mommy Doesn't Know Best: Meg Ryan in My Mom's New Boyfriend

The whole film is about the drama that ensues and the tricky situations Henry is put into. While he needs to support his mom in her new avatar, his job demands he spy on Tommy. So it's a Catch-22 situation that doesn't get any better till the last reels roll out.

What's hot: There are a couple of scenes that play out well. But they are few and far between. Hanks does as much as he can with the feeble script and clichu00e9d dialogues.
