CGiii Comment

The mother may be a little too much of a caricature (she does become intensely annoying).

The humour is predictable and bland...but, it doesn't stop it from being rather cute.

The(ir) Blurb...

Two attractive young lesbians, Maggie and Kim, meet in Vancouver, develop a passionate romance, and move in together. Meanwhile, Maggie's well-meaning but naive mother Lila gets divorced and decides to move to Vancouver and join the household. Soon after, Lila is befriended by Judy, a transsexual about to undergo a sex-change operation. Complications ensue as the conservative Lila learns the truth about Maggie, Judy, and their diverse group of friends.
