Critical Reception
"If Sigmund Freud were alive, and his practice were cut down to nothing by therapy-resistant insurance companies, and he became desperate, and he found his way to an executive job at a reality-TV production house in Hollywood, he might have proposed "Momma's Boys..."Boston Globe: A Dating Disaster for 'Momma's Boys' (December 16, 2008)
"To observe that "Momma's Boy" is soul-sucking junk is mere rhetoric; this show is a journey through the badlands of TV hell, where words have no meaning or impact. "Momma's Boys" is so dreadful that it effectively neuters critical disembowelment before the operation even begins."Newsday: Review: 'Momma's Boys' (December 15, 2008)
