An already-unstable household becomes a virtual battle zone when the son of a risqué comedienne and a has-been singer finds mom meddling in his love life in director
Cherie Nowlan's dysfunctional
romantic comedy. Twenty-one-year-old
Tim Dwight (
Khan Chittenden) comes from a peculiar family; his mother,
Jean (
Brenda Blethyn), is a bawdy stage comic renowned for her scatological sense of humor and his father,
John (
Frankie J. Holden), is a faded
country-music star who now works as a low-rent security guard. While dad is busy trying to revive his flat-lined career, mom spends most of her time doting on
Tim and his developmentally disabled brother,
Mark (
Richard Wilson). Upon meeting the beautiful
Jill (
Emma Booth),
Tim believes his may have finally found the woman of his dreams. Unfortunately in
Jean's eyes there is only room for one woman in
Tim's life, and that woman is his mother. As
Tim's relationship with
Jill grows increasingly serious, the stage is set for a battle royal between the woman who once gave him life and the prospective mother of his future children.
