Bumped from a flight back to Los Angeles and the life, wife, and infant daughter that await him there, Mikey (Matt Boren) returns to his childhood home, a cluttered, cocoon-like Manhattan loft presided over by his bohemian parents. You can stay here as long as you want, Mikey s mother tells him. But in Azazel Jacobs Momma s Man, what begins as a respite from adult responsibility becomes a premature mid-life crisis. Re-installed in a household saturated with two generations of bric-a-brac evoking days gone by, Mikey starts to regress and drift back to an awkward youth he never outgrew. To realize this (modestly scaled movie with a heart the size of the Ritz - New York Times), writer-director Jacobs cast his real life parents, artist Flo Jacobs and underground film legend Ken Jacobs (Star Spangled to Death), as Mikey s benevolent mother and father, and the Jacobs family apartment as an archive of the unconscious where free floating anxiety renders Mikey a prisoner of his own nostalgia. Deftly balancing (melancholy emotional realities with unexpected moments of Chaplinesque comedy - Variety), Momma s Man is a funny, touching, and bracingly honest look at the pleasures and perils of yearning for the imperfect past.Video: XviD @ 855 Kbps - 624×336 (WxH)
