I'm a mother and this movie touched me in a way I didn't think possible. It's so hard raising a child and even harder to see them leave home for the first time. Nia Vardalos does such a beautiful job as the mother. She's smart and funny and full of life and I just wanted to give her a big hug her at the end of the movie. The relationships between the whole family are so honest - the mother and son were my favorite. Lloyd's difficulties in finding his sexuality were really difficult to watch at times but I think it was done in a really clever way. All the mothers at the PTA meeting were hysterical - that Barbara Boxer was so crazy and witty she had me in stitches. All mothers should watch this!!!

There are so many unbelievable and/or boring stories and movies out there about homosexual and bisexual characters that just want to have sex all the time. This movie is a breath of fresh air in that it's about a kid who's just trying to figure it all out. He doesn't know if he's gay or straight, and I think it's a really important message.So many people out there struggle with their identity. I think we need more movies like this to show people that it's okay to not know who you are. All that's important is being true to yourself and that can be really hard.I support any movie that tries to start a conversation about this subject matter. It's not a gay movie, it's an honest movie

This movie has little plot and zombie-like "acting" which puts the deep freeze on anything you might want to get out of the film. Aside from Ms. Vardalos, there's a reason the rest of the cast is made up of unknowns and little known bit players. Ms. Vardalos is astonishingly horrible in this and quickly making herself even less relevant than she's already become by being in amateur movies like Helicopter Mom.There are zero redeeming qualities about this movie and everything from the cinematography to the wardrobe makes it look like a bad student film.The only thing that's funny about this film is that apparently the sales company, distributor, production company, producer and/or director are posting bogus positive user reviews to try and trick people into watching this thing. 99% of the people see right through it which makes the losers behind this movie even more pathetic than they already are for putting out a trashy movie like this. The very few critic's who even bothered reviewing this movie unanimously panned it.Even if you can download this thing for free off the internet, your time is worth far more than subjecting yourself to 80 minutes of stupidity.

I really loved this sweet little film. I've been a big fan of Nia Vardalos ever since "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," and I found her performance in this movie equally as charming and fun. Vardalos is so different from most modern movie stars. She really represents a honest and unvarnished American woman, and I always find her refreshing to watch. She's a talented comedian- able to be both funny and earnest at the same time. The relationship between mother and son in this film was heartwarming and real; you really see a mother struggling to do everything possible to help her child succeed- even if she sometimes makes mistakes. That's something that every mother can identify with! And on top of all of this I'm really glad that we can have a family comedy in 2015 that champions gay acceptance...with a twist ;) Bravo Nia! I'm a big fan!
