Mamma en chef received a mixed to negative reception from critics, who generally found the humor to be predictable and the plot uninspired. While some appreciated the attempts at lighthearted family entertainment, many felt the film lacked originality and failed to deliver memorable comedic moments. Audience reception was slightly more favorable, with some viewers enjoying the simple premise and the performances of the cast.

• Relies heavily on predictable gags and a formulaic plot.
• The performances are generally amiable but can't quite elevate the weak script.
• A light, if somewhat forgettable, comedic offering that fails to leave a lasting impression.

Google audience: Google users found the film to be a light and amusing comedy, with many appreciating Jérôme Commandeur's comedic performance and the presence of veteran French actors.
