Steineded How sad is this?

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

Travis Potts 'You Should Meet My Son' is honestly such a great movie! However, you need to know what you are getting into, this is not a movie that tackles the seriousness of coming out to your family through lots of angst and self loathing. This is not a tearjerker like 'Prayers for Bobby.' This movie is a farce in the best way possible! The scene near the end with the male protagonist's breakdown was such a tender moment between mother and son, and the insistence of the gay youth needing better gay role models couldn't be more true! The gay culture is shown brilliantly here, the leather couple and skanky teens to the snarling gay bar patrons, glitzy drag queens and master/dog fetish. Everyone writes about how the mother and son have the greatest character development, but can we look at the character of Aunt Rose? The makeover scene is something that is tackled by every chick flick out there, but I can honestly say that this one had me cackling to myself, and the way in which she slowly comes out of her shell is definitely something to take notice of. The drag queen gang is hilarious and so entertaining! Yes, the accents are fake, the acting is over-the-top, the plot is predictable, but this only adds to the movie, and it's success lies in it's comedic way of portraying common issues within the LGBT community. NB: Anyone who enjoyed this should definitely give 'The Big Gay Musical' a view!!!

zif ofoz You can't not like this movie! It's full of crazy quirky characters that are charming and entertaining.The plot is simple and easy - the title tells it all! Brian's mother and aunt are on a mission and they learn an important lesson.The production 'look and feel' in this movie is about on the same level as the TV show 'Mama's Family' with the same type of extreme but funny characterizations.This is a movie anybody can have a good time watching and 'laffing' with it and at it. My favorite character is the silly southern blond girl friend near the end of the movie!

alassenamos "You Should Meet My Son" A Mother's Job is Never Done Amos Lassen When conservative Southern mother Mae learns that her only son is gay, she decides that he is not to go through life alone and starts looking for the ideal husband for him. Do I have to say that this is a comedy? Not only is it is a comedy but it is very sweet and a wonderful movie experience.This is director and screenwriter Keith Hartman's feature debut and it is about the mom and aunt everyone wishes they have. Mae (JoAnne McGee) is a Southern mother who just wants the best for her son Brian (Stewart Carrico). Mae and her sister Rose (Carol Goans) invite Brian and every single girl in town over most Friday nights to meet Brian. (I can't help but think that Mae also should be a Jewish mother as well). Brian, however, always brings his "special friend and roommate." Finally mom and aunt understand but they help with a survey in a magazine called "Is Your Son Gay"? That doesn't stop them and now they try to find a man for Brian. They get a computer and the teen neighbor sets it up for them and they go to "Manhunt" at the teen's recommendation and find themselves cruising the site. They even go to the bars and are determined to find the right man for Brian. The film is loaded with good performances and laughs and it is very, very gay.
