Rueben's Ramblings

On May 10, the Hallmark Channel original movie Mom’s Day Away will debut at 8 PM.

Stay-at-home mom Laura Miller (Bonnie Somerville from Golden Boy) chose family life over a glamorous career. Her husband Michael (James Tupper from Men in Trees and Revenge), a workaholic realtor, eternally conducts business on his cell phone while her 17-year-old son (Iain Belcher from Radio Rebel) and 12-year-old daughter (relative newcomer Kaitlyn Bernard) are absorbed in their young life dramas.

It’s Mother’s Day weekend and still nobody is paying attention to Laura’s needs. Excitement is injected into Laura’s life when her dazzling and affluent BFF Trish (Ona Grauer from Elysium and Cult) shows up and whisks her off on an adventure-filled trip to a lavish resort.

Over this Mother’s Day weekend, Laura has an awakening, making up for lost time by overindulging in the resort’s luxurious offerings and rekindling her career aspirations. As Trish begins to reassess her own life choices during their time away, Laura considers that living her dreams won’t bring true happiness unless her family is along for the adventure.

Here is a trailer for Mom’s Day Away.
