Plot Summary
Siblings Elizabeth, Jeremy and Harry have had it up to here: their single, working mother's always too busy to spend time with them and they want to remedy the situation. So the children approach a strange old woman with magical powers and ask her to give them a new mom -- one who's fun to be with, who's interesting and unusual. So Mrs. Cavour conjures up a few mothers so the kids can choose who they like. But they quickly discover that the exotic, the wealthy and the weird don't quite fit the bill. Based on Nancy Brelis' short story "The Mommie Market."

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: 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.
Customer Reviews
Finally available somewhere!
Yay! I remember watching this movie with my brother as a kid and the whole premise had us captivated. Probably not the best movie ever but definitely entertaining and worth the money. Kids and adults will both love it if they have a sense of humor and can appreciate movies that aren't always the next Oscar winner! ;)
Awesome
I was looking at movies on the net and came into this accidentally and I LOVED it. It is hilarious and it shows u how valuable ur real mom actually is hahahaha
