A Mother's Job is Never Done

"You Should Meet My Son" A Mother's Job is Never Done Amos Lassen When conservative Southern mother Mae learns that her only son is gay, she decides that he is not to go through life alone and starts looking for the ideal husband for him. Do I have to say that this is a comedy? Not only is it is a comedy but it is very sweet and a wonderful movie experience.

This is director and screenwriter Keith Hartman's feature debut and it is about the mom and aunt everyone wishes they have. Mae (JoAnne McGee) is a Southern mother who just wants the best for her son Brian (Stewart Carrico). Mae and her sister Rose (Carol Goans) invite Brian and every single girl in town over most Friday nights to meet Brian. (I can't help but think that Mae also should be a Jewish mother as well). Brian, however, always brings his "special friend and roommate." Finally mom and aunt understand but they help with a survey in a magazine called "Is Your Son Gay"? That doesn't stop them and now they try to find a man for Brian. They get a computer and the teen neighbor sets it up for them and they go to "Manhunt" at the teen's recommendation and find themselves cruising the site. They even go to the bars and are determined to find the right man for Brian. The film is loaded with good performances and laughs and it is very, very gay.
