So, 'My Stage Mom' is this quirky little comedy that dives into the often ridiculous world of child acting. Joy, the mom, is kind of over the top with her ambitions for her daughter. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the chaotic atmosphere of the film. The themes of ambition and the pressures of the industry are pretty relatable, even if it's all played for laughs. The performances are a mixed bag, which I think adds to its charm; Joy's relentless drive juxtaposed with her daughter's hesitance creates some interesting tension. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but there's something oddly genuine about how it portrays that parent-child dynamic in the spotlight. Plus, there are some practical effects during the audition scenes that are surprisingly well executed.
