You Should Meet My Son

Synopsis:

A fish-out-of-water comedy about a conservative Southern mom, Mae, who discovers that her only son, Brian, is gay. Determined that he won’t go through life alone, she sets out to find him a husband along with her sister, Rose.

Quick Thoughts:

At first glance, “You Should Meet My Son” appears over the top, camp, and most certainly an independent film. The script jumps around a bit, the cinematographic elements aren’t the greatest – but I absolutely LOVE this queer comedy film! There’s just something special about the overall journey that Mae and her sister Rose take while trying to find Brian the perfect partner. They both share an initial reluctance and even fear to discovering Brian is gay but in the end, all they care about is his happiness. And that’s when the comedic fun really begins! Between the women checking out Manhunt to their escapes with drag queens, strippers, and more at the local gay bar – you’ll be laughing your ass off! Yet by the end, love wins. It’s hysterical and a tad cheesy, but I highly encourage you to find a copy of this queer comedy!
