Cheesy Drama - Stage Mother review by GI
A cliched clash of culture story with homophobia as the central theme. A conservative Texas church choir conductor inherits her estranged son's gay drag bar and overcome with grief and guilt she embraces it and its staff and customers. Jackie Weaver uses all her screen panache as Maybelline, a wisecracking woman who battles her homophobic husband and learns all about a different culture albeit too late for her son who has died. The story is all too obvious and cheesy to hold one's attention for long although Lucy Liu is good as a single mother that Maybelline befriends.
