The MEDDLER Starring Susan Sarandon, Rose Byrne & J.K. Simmons

"The Meddler" is a comedy that is anything but funny or entertaining.  The A list cast of stars include Susan Sarandon as the annoying but (un)lovable, overbearing mother to successful, beautiful but (not) so tragically single daughter (Rose Byrne.)  The fine cast of actors who play love interests to Sarandon are J.K. Simmons & Michael McKean.  The always likable Jason Ritter plays Byrne's on-again off-again boyfriend.  Despite the charms of these 3 fine actors, Sarandon's grating voice, incredulous character & uncharacteristic overacting all but bury this chick flick into an interminably, unwatchable movie.  For anyone who is a mother or who has had a mother…hmm...this movie is not for you.
