Mama's Boy is a heartwarming and hilarious film about a 29-year-old man named Jeffrey (played by Jon Heder) who still lives at home with his overbearing mother, Jan (played by Diane Keaton). Jan has always been protective of her son, but she takes it to a whole new level when Jeffrey starts dating a successful and ambitious businesswoman named Nora (played by Liv Tyler).

Jan doesn't understand why Jeffrey would want to be with anyone other than her, and she goes to great lengths to sabotage the relationship. She invites Jeffrey's ex-girlfriend back into his life, sets him up on a disastrous blind date, and even goes as far as to hack into Nora's email account to find out more about her.

While all of this is going on, Jeffrey also has to deal with his estranged father, Mert (played by Jeff Daniels), who left him and Jan when Jeffrey was just a child. Mert is trying to reconnect with his son and be a part of his life again, but Jeffrey is hesitant to let him back in.

As the film progresses, Jeffrey starts to stand up to his mother and assert himself. He realizes that he needs to break free from her controlling grip if he wants to be happy and have a successful relationship with Nora. At the same time, he also starts to forgive his father and let him back into his life.

The film is full of laugh-out-loud moments, thanks in large part to Diane Keaton's hilarious portrayal of Jan. She perfectly captures the essence of an overprotective mother who will stop at nothing to keep her son all to herself.

Jon Heder is also fantastic as Jeffrey. He brings a lot of humor and heart to the role, and the audience can't help but root for him as he tries to find his own way in the world.

Jeff Daniels' portrayal of Mert is also noteworthy. He plays the character with a lot of nuance and complexity, and the audience can feel his genuine regret and longing to make things right with his son.

Overall, Mama's Boy is a feel-good movie that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even call your own mother. It's a story about family, love, and the importance of standing up for yourself.

Mama's Boy is a 2007 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1.
