Mom or Dad?

Mom or Dad? (Mamma o papà?, 2017) is an Italian comedy from director Riccardo Milani that you can watch online on iFILM. The premise flips the usual divorce drama: instead of fighting to keep their three kids, both parents scheme to dump them on the other.

Valeria and Nicola are splitting up when each lands a once-in-a-lifetime job offer abroad — the kind no single parent of three could ever accept. So the custody battle runs in reverse. Whoever proves the more useless, neglectful, embarrassing parent wins their freedom. Paola Cortellesi and Antonio Albanese play it with that very Italian blend of warmth and farce, two adults behaving worse than the children they're trying to ditch.

Milani keeps the pace fast and the sabotage escalating, yet there's a sharp truth underneath about what a breakup does to otherwise decent people. Light, mean-spirited in the best way, and more honest than most family comedies. Stream Mom or Dad? (2017) online on iFILM.
