'Mother'
Science fiction novelist John Henderson (Albert Brooks) is suffering from writer’s block and failed relationships. Stumped for ideas and bewildered over all those girlfriends who lacked belief in him, Henderson decides to psychoanalyze his problems.
He took a wrong turn in his life, he concludes. And he knows exactly who was directing traffic at that crucial intersection: Mother.
Henderson is a walking, open wound, constantly vulnerable to his mother’s semiconscious and fully conscious insults and put-downs. He concludes that his only solution is to move back in with Mother, figure out what she’s all about, and somehow put his life back on course. -- Desson Howe
