Usually not a fan of the "Dramedy" (Drama/Comedy). They are rarely pithy and often trite. However, I found this movie to be very enjoyable. The drama was not overdramatic and the comedy was always well placed. The storyline developed at an appropriate pace and I did not find myself looking at my watch wondering if this was almost over. I really, really enjoyed this movie.

This movie made me cry; when the mom was able to become present in her now, whilst releasing whatever expectations she had for her son as well as herself. Mother and son relationships are so uniquely undescribable in real life. They either really love u and look for a mate just like their mom or they hate u and want nothing to do with you.
