Critic Reviews
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.Read the full review

That's basically the same gimmick in this new film from writer-director Maurice Jamal.Read the full review
