There seems to be two movies here. The first is a dark comedy, to be sure, but it has a goofiness and energy that really makes it move. The second movie is about as dark as they get. The satire is there but it is very unpleasant.

Quite amusing, even more-so untamed and risque filmmaking. This remains, I think, one of De Palma's better efforts.

While it has a few good moments, the disturbing theater performance is the highlight of the movie and voyeuristic dating part is amusing, the movie as a whole is incoherent, highly uneven and tonally inconsequent. The radicalizing of Rubin is underdeveloped. The last part is so uninspired and unengaging it drags the whole movie down.

(Viewed on 24/01/12): Hi, Mom! is essentially Greetings Part 2, a collection of comic sketches with social commentary that dates it to its time. It's of curiosity to film buffs because it stars De Niro before Scorsese discovered him and used him properly and prior to De Palma's transformation as a schlocky Hitchcock disciple. There are some amusing moments, especially the scenes involving Deniro trying to get a date, but its main value is historical. i.e. as an early New Hollywood film.

All kinds of amazing. Has a solid satirical footing, but often ventures and explores different tones -- this is most evident in the central 'Be Black Baby' sequence, which is as humorous as it is utterly shocking (and perhaps resonates better in 2016 than it did back in 1970). It's also a bit thematically all over the place, but it mostly revolves around how much the film camera affected the (mostly egotistical) folks of the Western world. Wild stuff!

be black baby bölümü umut verici başlayıp fazlasıyla rahatsız edici süresiyle bir tempo sorununa neden olsa da film alternatif travis bickle hikayesi adeta. ama senarist ve yönetmen farkı biraz da burada ortaya çıkıyor. yine de bir tutmak çok doğru olmaz, hi, mom! da dengesiz, yer yer dağınık olan ama vaadettikleriyle hayal gücünde güzelleşen bir film.

Hi Mom: watch the beginning, excuse yourself for the middle and run in terror from the end. About as uneven a film as I've ever seen.

Assemblage of sketches lacks the momentum and freshness of GREETINGS, but is still enjoyable for the first half until it gets bogged down in a troubling (and needlessly graphic) black power segment which undermines the film and leaves a nasty taste behind. As before De Niro is excellent, and his scenes shooting porn films are definite highlights. A mixed bag.

Be Black Baby is unbelievably uncomfortable and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. The rest of the movie was great though. De Niro is wonderful in a proto-Travis Bickle role. "You see that cleavage? You don't get that in a Fellini film. You get that in a Banner film."

"The most Hitchcockian riff that De Palma ever examined is the capacity for the human psyche to harbor intense, complicated divergence." - Eric Henderson

Everytime De Palma tries to push down some social commentary through his movies, he makes it in such a boring way.

Olá, Mamãe! estreava há 50 anos em New York. De Palma contracultural na potência máxima, esse chega a ser ainda melhor do que Greetings porque injetou toda uma vibe Putney Swope de questões raciais. A energia juvenil do De Palma aqui faz toda a diferença. BlurayRip no MakingOff.

Really inconsistent. The first 30-45 minutes were great when De Niro is making those voyeur movies but when he gets fired and starts working as the cop in the theater it became unbearable. That play was one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever seen. De Palma is so hit or miss.

A True W.T.F. As in W.T.F. were they thinking when they made this film? It is possibly the second worst film I have ever watched.
