Runaway Mum

Under the weight of family pressure, I was willing to try a romantic comedy, of which there are about 20 a year (in Czech). But for Mother in Trouble, I am definitely not the target audience, it requires a lot more boxes to tick and offspring. So, it didn't work for me, and I was very bored. However, there is still the level of Eva Toulova, and it doesn't reach that low. (29/06/2024)

L'idée est certainement bonne, la réalisation un peu moins, mais on trouve quand même quelques blagues réussies, les meilleures répliques étant assurées par Jana Švandová. Et puis surtout, on n'a pas à subir une fin prévisible et éculée, ce que j'apprécie. Je donne donc trois étoiles, même si c'est approximatif. Note de bas de page : peut-on trouver un film ou une série tchèque dans lesquels Jaroslav Plesl ne joue pas ? :-) (01/08/2024)

In the genre classification of Runaway Mum includes drama, but I would take the "comedy" label with a pinch of salt, as the film is built more on dramatic moments in interpersonal relationships and there is very little humour. A life crisis, a marital crisis, a partner crisis, a family crisis and, as a result, a bit of an audience crisis. The message of the film is clear and straightforward, yet it is handled in such a bland and futile manner and does not attempt to add any value within the genre. At the same time, some of the characters (the kids and the husband) were really annoying. (21/06/2024)
