Summary

Saturday Night Live aired a sketch featuring Matt Damon as the doting husband in a parody movie called "Mom" — a completely conflict-free, inoffensive film designed to appeal to mothers everywhere. The trailer shows an empty nester mom whose three adult children announce they're all moving back in. The voiceover emphasizes the movie is "completely devoid of conflict, suspense and dramatic tension," with absurdly wholesome scenarios like a daughter worrying about a pickleball tournament.
