| Synopsis:
FBI Field Agent Henry Durand (Colin Hanks) has a problem. It seems his mother Marty (Meg Ryan) has developed a dating life of her own in the three years he's been on assignment. Now, Henry finds himself fending off midnight serenades from lovelorn Italian chefs and watching helplessly as Marty hops on the back of a college dropout's motorcycle, all of which is enough to drive him into therapy. But things get more serious when Marty begins dating Tommy (Antonio Banderas), the FBI's number one suspect in an international art theft ring. Henry soon has to witness more of his mom's love life than he ever wanted when the FBI orders him to spy on her to catch a thief! |

 Worst movie EVER January 2, 2009
S. Smith
This was an awful, awful movie. Just terrible. Boring, not funny, and lacked plot. Also, Meg Ryan's face is scary and unnatural. Maybe she can play the joker in the next Batman movie.
Horrible December 8, 2008
Mariane Matera (Richmond, VA USA)
Colin Hanks has Tom Hanks' voice, so it's strange hearing that voice but seeing a completely different body. I don't know whose face Meg Ryan has now, but it's not hers. The plot was stupid.
Mind numbingly bad October 12, 2008
D. L. Betts Sparks (Monterrey)
I don't usually write reviews, but I suffered through Homeland Security just last night and it was so thoroughly awful I feel honor-bound to take a few moments to warn anyone against buying, renting or accepting an invitation to watch it. Have you noticed that people who have had a nasty health scare or survived a brush with death on the highway often feel compelled in the immediate aftermath to alert others so they can avert falling into similar danger? That's a little like how I feel this morning. There is nothing positive I can say about Homeland Security. It's painfully slow and stilted, the acting is wooden, the plot line is inane and just about every single joke falls horribly flat. I don't think there's any single area of culpability: it's a combination of weak concept plus failures in the script, direction and editing room. I had always considered Banderas and Ryan to be reasonably talented actors - at the very least endowed with a certain screen presence - so it was something of a surprise to see a movie they star in turn out to be so staggeringly awful. It was actually embarrassing to watch - and who wants to spend 90 minutes cringing through a movie? In supporting roles, Colin Hanks may turn out to be a fine actor one day, but he strikes out looking in his first major appearance. Selma Blair's performance was not bad at all, though I doubt she'll be highlighting this movie on her career resume in the years ahead. My recommendation ... Homeland Security would make a perfect Christmas or birthday gift for someone you particularly dislike.
 Cute Movie, Makes a Good Rental September 27, 2008
Swati S. Desai (Washington, DC)
I rented this movie with Amazon Video on Demand. It was a very cute film. The plot: boy gets job at FBI, leaves mom who's old and dumpy looking. Boy comes back on assignment with fiancee three years later, mom is hot and dating heavily. Newest date is being watched by FBI for being an art thief. Hilarity ensues.
So there's plenty of conflict in the plot, and it makes for interesting watching. It's a good movie, light and amusing, and worth watching. It's also buy-worthy, in the sense that you might see it again when you're looking for some light entertainment.
I'm not sure I would buy this film, but it makes a great rental.
