DVD review: Momma's Man, For retail & rental (Diffusion)

This piquant American indie comedy-drama zeroes in on the adult male urge to regress to the comforting cocoon of childhood.

A thirtysomething man visits his bohemian parents while he's on business in New York, and then, for unspecified reasons, he keeps prolonging his stay instead of going home to his wife and baby daughter in California. It's a quiet film, with its own measured pace, but it has more painfully astute observations than most comedies with 10 times the budget.
