Alicia I love this movie so much

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

bkoganbing You know when I first came across this title I thought it would be New York Jewish. Instead it's a delightful southern fried gay comedy about a concerned mother who wants her son to finally get hitched. Not thrilled about her son being gay, nevertheless Joane McGee and her unmarried sister Carol Goans are going to do what they can to make son Stewart Carrico happy.Imagine the Dubois sisters invading an Atlanta gay bar in their best Lucy and Ethel manner. It's quite a sight as they make all kinds of new friends and invite them for dinner. Just like Jimmy Stewart and Harvey used to entertain.But Carrico is nothing if not a dutiful son and he's going to get married to a good Christian girl Ginger Pullman. Pullman and her fundamentalist parents collide at a dinner party thrown by McGee and the results are hilarious. Even Pullman rebels against her parents, a touch added to this Auntie Mame type climax.As you can see You Should Meet My Son takes some inspiration from many fine sources. It's a fine comedy from the gay cinema and I recommend it highly to all audiences.

Alvin T. "You Should Meet My Son" is a comedy about a closeted gay son and his loud and crazy mother. The son tries his utmost to hide the fact that he is gay all the while dealing with an emotional breakup. The mother discovers that her son is gay (with the help of her equally loud and crazy sister) and sets out to find the perfect guy for her son to be with.The first half hour of the film is funny and lighthearted, with bits of clever jokes here and there. The jokes end however when "comedy" turns into "crack humour." The film begins to pack clichéd drag queens and a very predictable anti-gay Christian family into the same scenes. The film stops being about the gay son and the mother and just becomes a great big mess of gay characters and religious characters interacting with one another.The story between the gay son and the mother is enjoyable and kind of touching, but you will need to sit through a lot of crazy, random stuff before you get to see the ending to that story.

tinevisce Set in Southern USA, this movie deals with a conservative mother's reaction to finding out her son is gay: she sets out to find him a husband!I read about this movie at afterelton.com, and it looked promising. Boy, oh, boy, does this movie deliver the goods! While it's true that it shows that the movie was shot on a shoestring budget, you honestly don't even think of it as any big impediment at all. In fact, it adds to the "earthy" feel of the entire movie.I did read that the accents were really supposed to be fake; but being from India, and never having been to the States, this isn't something that I could pick up on: I leave it to Americans to rate that particular aspect.I would have to say that the strongest aspect of the film would be the wonderfully quirky characters:Mae and Rose really shine in this film; hell, you could say it's THEIR movie.All in all, it's a light hearted movie which doesn't fall into the trap of taking itself too seriously.I totally recommend this one!

arizona-philm-phan ......think I just dated myself. I meant to say: What a "BLAST!" What's that you're saying....I'm still talk'n like an old guy. Okay, okay...just whisper it to me. Ah...now I get it: What a "KICK-ASS!" pair these two ladies are.And I obviously agree with you. This Mom and this Aunt are all those Capital letters, above....rolled up together (and even more so, aren't they). What Gay youngster, having been thrown out on the streets of this world, wouldn't give for a mother and father, or any family member, like either Momma Mae or Auntie Rose? (They really deserve at least a half-Star, extra)Since you've probably already seen other reviews / comments outlining this story, let me only add that it is, basically, just the tale of a Gay young man, afraid to Come Out to the family. Yet, what makes this one pretty special is the verve.....the life.....the acceptance that just pours off the screen, and out over us, from these two marvelous ladies.Oh, and are there ANY bases not covered by first-time, feature length Director, Keith Hartman? Hmm...let's see now....I recall that they include:1 - Loss of the long-time boyfriend (don't worry...he doesn't die).2 - Discovery by family of someone's "abnormal" sexual orientation (a Big 6 on the Kinsey Scale).3 - Struggle over Acceptance.4 - Search for a suitable replacement, needed due to Item 1, above. (Doesn't hurt he's a gorgeously hunky go-go dancer, wearing tight briefs)5 - Attempt by "Kinsey 6" at a Heterosexual lifestyle.6 - Consideration of enrollment in a Gay Conversion Therapy program.7 - Time spent in cleaning up all the Holy Mess....created by Items 1 thru 6, above.8 - THE ENDPS--(It's a lot of Fun + Laughs----You'll enjoy it)****
