You Should Meet My Son (U.S. 2010)




The Gist: 
After years of trying to set up her son with eligible women over Sunday dinners, a mother learns that her son is gay. Determined that he not live his life alone, she and her sister set out to find him a husband. 

Comments:
It's a cute movie that does a good job of being amusing and is, well, for lack of a better word, cute. 

There are a few issues, some jokes fall flat, acting levels vary a bit, and the "gay bar as menagerie of wildly varying stereotypes" is so cliche that it needs to be retired, but for the most part the movie works as a light entertainment comedy with a "serious" message of acceptance and unconditional love.

Worth a watch if you're in the mood for a silly, big-hearted indie movie that doesn't require any thought on your part and that is again, amusing and cute.
