 Not what I expected, but VERY GOOD! September 8, 2010
Cindy Edge (Texas)
This made for TV movie was based on the best-selling novel: The Bad Mother's Handbook by Kate Long.
Like most people purchasing this DVD, I bought it because Robert Pattinson played a character in it. And I admit, I had low expectations of enjoying anything more than his appearance in it. Of course, that is WHY they are marketing this movie the way they are.
What I was NOT expecting was to see so LITTLE of Rob and yet to enjoy this movie so much. This is a very moving, funny, thought-provoking film. I LOVED the glimpses of Rob... he is so young and plays awkward SO well. Adorable. But I was not disappointed, even though I would have enjoyed seeing more of him, because the Bad Mother's Handbook is just that GOOD.
The story is about a dysfunctional, multigenerational family of women. Middle-aged Karen is stressed and frustrated, struggling to care for both a teenage daughter and mother with Alzheimer's. She has a bit of an identity crisis when she discovers a long-kept secret. Her bright but hormonal daughter, Charlotte, has her own crisis when she discovers that she's pregnant about the same time her dead-beat boyfriend dumps her. Enter Daniel (Robert Pattinson), a new student and doctor's son, who tries to support her in his own nerdy way. Karen strikes out at both her mother and daughter in bitter disappointment, but all the turmoil serves to teach them all some important lessons about love, family, and being a mother. I laughed and had tears...
My advice - if you think this movie stars Rob, lower your expectations and you'll be better able to enjoy a very good movie.
HINT: If you aren't used to HEAVY British/Scottish accents, you might want to turn on the English SUBTITLES. I did and it made all the difference.
 The Bad Mother's Handbook September 6, 2010
Brandon "3oh!3 fan"
The cover may advertise Rob Pattinson (from the Twilight Saga), but he's hardly in it. The movie is really dull, and at times boring. The movie is just about how Charlie & her mother don't get along and that Charlie's mom is adopted. the movie isn't too good. It's a total Made for TV movie, but this movie isn't really worth watching. It's really short (69mins) and the credits are 30seconds long so yeah. The movie is something you'd see on LifeTime or something. If your a Twilight Fan, then you'll love, if not then just skip it.

This is a short film with a strong message. Robert Pattinson does not have a major role, but he plays an interesting character. I liked the film because of its message and because I am a Pattinson fan. It is about being a mother. There are strong performances by the mother, played by Catherine Tate and the daughter, played by Holly Grainger. Holly will also be in the Pattinson film to come out in 2011, Bel Ami. I still loved Robert's role in the film and I would recommend it. I had to watch it again to understand the English dialect and the humor, which is in abundance.

While this film is not bad, for a made for TV flick, it is a complete injustice to bill it as a "Robert Pattinson film:. The story is about Charlie, and her relationship with her mother and grandmother. Daniel Gale is an ancillary character at best. This is nothing short of opportunistic advertising, and marketing making the assumption that the public doesn't know better.
