Anyone know what movie I'm talking about? Rent a mom?


I saw this movie long ago on the Disney channel or something where these three kids want a new mom, and so they get these 3 tokens and try a really rich/classy mom, a cookie baking mom, and an athletic mom, but in the end, want their own mom, and get her back when the youngest boy, i think his name was harry, remembers her telling him to clean his room.
Also, there was a magical old lady, and harry (?) had a pet iguana, and for some reason, they remember them playing in a creek one summer.

Anyone know what movie this is?

Thanks!

I know exactly what you're talking about. It's called "Trading Mom." Sissy Spacek plays the mom and Asher Metchik played Harry.

Elizabeth, Jeremy, and Harry Martin have had it with their workaholic, nagging mother and they get in trouble at school with bullies and almost smoking cigarettes. They go to this mysterious gardener named Mrs. Cavour and she tells the siblings about an ancient spell to make their mother disappear. That night they say the incantation and the next morning, they wake up and they find their mother is gone and they can't remember anything about her. Mrs. Cavour tells the children about the Mommy Market, a place in town where they had about every mother you could think of. When they go there, the Mommy Market had a policy where you could have 3 tokens to take a mother home. If they could not find a suitable mother by their third token, they could never go back. The mothers they pick are not what they hoped for and they feel lost without someone to look after them. They wanted their very own mother to love and they must think of a memory of their own to remember her and break the spell.

i feel like it was called...
rent-a-mom.


i thought I was the only one who remembered this film.

Umm no.Never heard of it in my life.
