Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Not unlike Ali MacGraw in the equally apocryphal Love Story, the closer our heroine inches toward death's door, the more physically attractive she becomes. Phooey!
Scott Marks, San Diego Reader

This is an old-school tearjerker, designed to get audiences sniffling in the dark.
Randy Cordova, Chicago Sun-Times

Long before anyone in "Ma Ma" expires, the movie does.

"Ma Ma" clearly wants to be tearjerker, but there's no need to have tissues handy for this one.
