“The Mother, The Menacer, And Me” (*1/2 out of four) was a dismal comedy about an aspiring dimbulb filmmaker (James Austin Kerr) who is forced to move back in with his critical mother-in-law (Lorraine Bracco) when he is broke and decides to gamble everything and try to shoot a movie for the first time with no money or talent. Irritatingly stupid and strains to be in-your-face and hip but only comes off as smarmy and crude. Bracco is wasted in a minor supporting role and would have been better off staying home and collecting her “Sopranos” royalties.
