Momma's Man Part of the fun of the tightly wound family drama is knowing how everyone is related. Middle-aged Mikey is visiting his folks in New York City when he finds himself unable to return to his wife and child in California. The film’s mom and dad are played by the director’s actual parents—his father, Ken Jacobs, being one of the leading luminaries of American experimental film. The small drama is perfectly tuned all on its own, but you can’t help enjoying the delicious—and Oedipal—irony of how, in a drama about a child who’s unable to leave the nest, the director is trapping his iconoclastic father in a plain old narrative film.
