Storyline
Bubber is a high school student. Rose, a nurse is an alcoholic woman, more than twice his age, and the mother of his girlfriend, Shirley. Bubber and Rose begin an affair after he fixes Shirley up with his pal, Ransom. They carry on their affair under the nose of Shirley until everything comes out in the open at a drive-in movie theater. To get even with Bubber and Rose for "behaving badly", Shirley pricks a hole in Rose's diaphragm. Shirley goes on to live with her father and Bubber moves in with Rose along with his pet tiger. The diaphragm incident results in Rose getting pregnant with Bubber's baby. The couple must decide whether to keep the baby and continue their May/December romance or part ways.

This movie is rather cute in a lot of ways. It's nothing like "White Palace", yet some of the scenes is quite similar. Breaking up is a painful thing, but your new girlfriend is your ex's mother? OK! I SEE! There is a tiger in the movie along with other animals as well. Lot's of sex is in the movie, I liked the drive-in scene when Howell's and Margret's characters were involved. I liked the part when she removes her top, then fire ants ruin the fun and they ran home naked. That is a howl! Then the ex-girlfriend sees them running. BUSTED! in every way. She's not only seeing the streaking, but she's unknowingly flashing unsuspecting strangers. That is really, REALLY FUNNY! Those scenes are a killer. And the ex-husband finds out and gets a new girlfriend only to get himself shot by her. I didn't like the part when the tiger ate the toy dog. The family should have been forewarned about it. I enjoyed the movie very well. It was cute a very memorable. It's definitely for the broken-hearted and the horny! Extremely sexy, and very well made. HAHAHA! RATING 2 OUT OF 5 STARS
7 OUT OF 10!
