CGiii Comment

The main problem with this...is the irritatingly naive premise.

Son turns up at his mother's house with the intention of marrying his lover - the mother does not know he's gay...that's one way of coming out - but, it is a fatally stupid idea and renders this film dead on the spot.

The comedy is clumsy. The ending, happy - a redundant exercise in film-making.
