Looking for plot holes? You can't miss them. But if you go in hoping for a good time, you'll find that, too.Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman
New York Daily News

Taking control of what would otherwise be a trite and preachy fable about the need for African American families to accept their gay brethren, Devine builds a jolly and touching character from the stock figure of a Georgia mom coming to terms with her disaffected gay son.Full Review

Robert Koehler
Variety

Mr. Jamal's direction ranges from clumsy to competent, and the film's overwhelming desire to be loved blunts any edge it might have had.Full Review

The New York Times

The tone is good-natured enough to make a simple movie semi-watchable.Full Review

Kyle Smith
New York Post

Overwritten and under-directed by Maurice Jamal, the movie contains several honest moments but remains too awash in clichés and stereotypes to take seriously.Full Review
