Just so you all know - the Mother character is real life.
I grew up in a city, with lots of immigrants from the turn of the 20th century.
I'm italian, and when my aunt married an Irish man, it was a huge scandal in my Dad's familyand his family stopped talking to him.
This movie is great because it captures that mentality. We don't need Politically correct, bland, "safe" characters.
It was so refreshing to see real characters on the screen. -

To the OP: Irish mothers? Try Italian, Jewish, Spanish, any ethnicity, really. All nationalities can have acid-tongued moms who tell it like it is, just because they're @ssholes. No matter how many times you shout back, they will never get that they're hurtful and irrational.
But for a movie, she was amusing to watch. -

so why did his mom screw over his father with that deal? bc his boss didnt give him a raise? if she had kept her mouth shut, maybe the boss WOULD have given him that raise.
I KNOW 2 things that are clear.I'm a great sinner,Christ is a great Savior. -

I know right! Like my own family members. I'm Mexican, British, and Egyptian, so I get a lot of fuss and that stuff. I loved this movie (non surprisingly).
And I did love her character, actually I liked her better than Teresa -

My mother in many ways was very much like Rose (even a very similar name).
Although she was NOT ethnically predjudiced much to the contrary, she was usually very nasty to anybody who was.
In other ways religion and family clannishness she was very similar to Rose.
Probably 2/3 of the time she was pretty crusty and blustery, and I know many people outside our family thought she was basically a B.
And she WAS a B, even around the house, sometimes. There were other times she was very sweet and in the end she certainly loved her children, but she was a very thorny personality at times.
So O'Hara's character, while a little exaggerated and cartoonish, was hardly far-fetched. People like that really do exist.- You ever seen Superman $#$# his pants? Case closed.
