    Entertaining fun with impressive cast
    My Review - Stage Mother My Rating 6.5

    It's great to review a new movie and to see Jackie Weaver in a starring role what an accomplished actress she is. Cast as Maybeline Metcalf a conservative church choir director who inherits her late son Rickey's San Francisco drag club. Maybeline travels to San Francisco for her son's funeral against her homophobic husbands wishes and picks up the threads of Ricky's last days including meeting his partner Nathan. Stage Mother is very entertaining what it lacks in script it makes up with some very good performances. I especially liked Lucy Liu as Sienna Rickie's best friend who Maybeline moves in for her stay and I also liked Adrian Grenier as Nathan who at first is hostile to Ricky'S mother accusing her of abandoning and rejecting her son then as a mutual understanding occurs between them he realised that Mother like Son is a good force to be reckoned with. This film directed by Thom Fitzgerald has had some undeserving negative reviews. It's well worth a look and has a good positive message to tell . It's not Pricilla Queen of the Desert and it doesn't try to be . The Drag Club scenes are very good and the scenes where Maybeline works her magic to coach the Queens to sing and make the Ricky'S Club profitable again are the best , it's just a pity that there wasn't more substance in the script. Jackie Weaver's final scene singing in her own voice was impressive.
