This movie focuses on young Tim, and is a coming-of-age story as well as a tale with a bit of humor, a touch of drama. Tim’s domineering mother, a bawdy comedienne, resists the idea of Tim settling down with a girl he falls for, named Jill. Jill helps Tim to grow as an adult and his mother rebels, calling Jill “Samantha,” the name of Tim’s ex-girlfriend. Throw in a mentally impaired son and an ex-husband who makes country western recordings, and the tension mounts.

Although the film realistically makes some points about dealing with family changes, the language is very strong and there is upper female nudity, as well as partial rear nudity. Dove cannot award our Dove Seal to this film for family viewing.
