Mother’s Day, the widely panned rom-com starring Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts, is now available to watch on Prime Video.
The film, which was directed by Garry Marshall, tells the stories of various mothers as Mother’s Day approaches, with the stacked cast also including Kate Hudson, Shay Mitchell, Jason Sudeikis, Timothy Olyphant and Jack Whitehall.
Following its release in 2016, the film was widely panned by critics as it accrued a meagre 8% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 157 reviews, making it the second-lowest rated film of Aniston’s career behind ‘Til There Was You.
