Smother


Smother is a drama-comedy film directed by Vince Di Meglio and Tim Rasmussen. The film is about the life of a man whose life was thrown into chaos when at a time he gets into a difficult situation.

Noah (Dax Shepard)has just lost his job as a Physical Therapist. He was planning to start up his own practice but gets abstracted when his slightly crazy, overbearing mother Marilyn Cooper (Diane Keaton) shows up in his door with her bags and 5 foster dogs in tow on Haloween.

Marilyn is a kind of mother who will wake you up at 6:30 a.m. and drop in into your place on unannounced visit. She left Noah’s father after a big clash where she accused him for having an affair with another woman.

Making the situation worst, his wife Clair (Liv Tyler) wants them to try to start a family when he was still not ready to have the responsibility.

Noah’s life was in distress thinking of the pressures he have plus the presence of someone he’s been trying to escape but he always find her in every corner of his house and won't quit smothering.

Trying to get his life together, Noah has to cope up to make ends meet, keeping his mother out of mess and avoiding his wife advances.
