While it's nice to see Sissy Spacek in different kinds of roles, the fairy tale as a whole is too didactic and only sporadically charming. Go to Full Review

Nana M @Nanam20 Dec 15 It’s a great family movie with children. See more danny M @RT72048773 Aug 3 Absolutely loved this movie as a child, was one that I would regularly watch ! Lighthearted fun and I’m sure we can all relate to wanting to be able to trade our parents at some stage just being a child. Great movie and showcased the versatility in sissy spaceck’s acting ability See more 02/09/2015 Spoiled kids wish they can have a different mom and they get their wish and get three picks at the mommy market. Yawn! See more 02/03/2015 I seen this movie on The Disney Channel when I was a kid, "Trading Mom" more likes Failure Kids who need a new mom but its was totally bad for real See more 11/19/2014 I remember this movie being a little better when I watched it as a kid. The idea of it all was neat and intriguing but the acting and flow of the movie could of used some work. They did a poor job of showing how caring and nice the real mom actually was, so when the kids went searching for a new mom it seemed unwarranted. Some of the situations were funny and entertaining but most of it was a little to far over the top and exaggerated to be great. The kids were good in their parts and really made it seem like they were siblings. By the end I didn't really care if they found a new mom and that was a big thing with the movie, it never made me care for what was going on. See more 07/16/2014 watched it when i was younger now my kids have watched it and loved it. See more Read all reviews
