Here’s a secret: while moms will no doubt appreciate any gift or activity you’ve prepared for them on Mother’s Day, they will also love just being able to sleep in, relax, and take it easy for the next 24 hours! If this idea thrills your mom, then why not just curl up with her and the whole fam while streaming the best movies and series on HBO Go with PLDT Home?
From funny and heartwarming rom-coms and animated movies to exciting shows, here’s a list of titles you and your mom will surely enjoy watching together–not just on Mother’s Day, but any day of the week!
Crazy Rich Asians
Moms with older kids can definitely relate to Michelle Yeoh as Eleanor Young—a wealthy socialite who might come off as an unbearing mother at times, but deep down, only has her son’s best interests at heart. And don’t worry, Eleanor undergoes serious character development, so moms are not painted as villains in this movie! Stream Crazy Rich Asians on HBO Go with PLDT Home!
Big Little Lies
Who can resist a show full of drama, mystery, and dark comedy, especially if it has a powerhouse cast? Starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, and Zoe Kravitz, the series follows these five moms as they become embroiled in a murder investigation, all while navigating their relationships and the complicated art of parenting. While some of the themes can get heavy, its depiction of motherhood—including a woman’s struggle to find her identity beyond being a mom, is a must-watch. Check out Big Little Lies on HBO Go!
Happy Feet
If you want a feel-good title, then this animated movie will surely tug at your heartstrings. Mom will also be able to relate with the mama character in this film, who protects, dotes on, and cares for her penguin child even if he is a little different than the other penguins. Watch Happy Feet with your kids or kids at heart on HBO Go!
Legally Blonde
Lighthearted comedies are perfect for bonding with mom, and nothing beats Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, a ditzy sorority girl who tries to win back her ex-boyfriend by following him to Harvard law school. Plus, the movie is made even more charming with the addition of Jennifer Coolidge and Elle’s very cute chihuahua, Bruiser! Stream Legally Blonde on HBO Go with PLDT Home!
Sex and the City
Yes, this show contains mature content, but if you’re of age, this is a great title to binge-watch with Mom! I mean, just think of all the conversations you can have justifying why Mr. Big or Aidan is the right man for Carrie. Oh, and you’ll be surprised to know that their depictions of pregnancy and parenting are actually spot-on! Binge Sex and the City on HBO Go!
