Mother's Day (2016)

As Mother’s Day nears, a group of seemingly-unconnected people in Atlanta come to terms with their relationships with their mothers. Sandy is a divorced mother of two boys, Mikey and Peter, whose ex-husband, Henry, has recently remarried a younger woman, Tina. Still getting used to this, she meets Bradley, a former marine, in the supermarket. Bradley’s wife Dana, a Marine Lieutenant, died a year ago, leaving him with their two daughters, Vicky and Rachel. They all miss her terribly. Kristin, adopted from birth, has her own daughter, Katie and mulls over marrying the father of her child, Zach. She considers her life incomplete and her friend Jesse encourages her to search for her birth mother. Jesse also happens to be Sandy’s best friend.

Jesse and her sister Gabi have their own issues with their parents, who they feel are too racist and homophobic to be in their lives: Jesse is married and has a son, Tanner with Russell, who is not white. Gabi is married to her girlfriend Max and has a son, Charlie. When their parents, Earl and Florence suddenly show up, plenty of catching-up is in order. As she’s in Atlanta promoting her latest book Miranda, an accomplished author and TV personality, gets a surprise visit from Kristin, who is her daughter who she was forced to give her up for adoption at birth, as she was just a teen. Their making up leads to Kristin asking Zach to marry her on air and marrying on the same day, so Miranda can participate.
