I enjoyed it, but I can understand why some people wouldn't.Nia Vardalos character gets a little annoying at times, the character she plays is extremely selfish (not much of a mother if you ask me) and pretty obnoxious.She's basically a reversed homophobe... Like almost heterophobic, her desires to have a gay son can be compared with homophobic parents who tries to 'straighten out' their homosexual children.All done in a very simplified light comedic way of course, but still a different and fairly interesting approach on the subject.And luckily her son played by Jason Dolley is quite the opposite of her character and is likable as our main guy.But the person who shines the most IMO is Mark Boone Jr who plays his ex-prisoner father who's just excellent.So yeah nothing amazing, but more good than bad.

What the hell is Nia Vardalos doing acting in this POS of a movie? Did she even bother reading the script? Did she owe director Salome Breziner a favor so huge to agree to lower herself by being in this rubbish and, in turn, severely hurt her chances of ever being in a legit film ever again? Mark Boone is a friend of Salome's but come on Jr., sometimes you just gotta look after your own arse and say "no."Duke Tran, the film's screenwriter, has absolutely zero talent and suffice it to say I highly doubt he'll ever find a writing job in Hollywood, or anywhere for that matter, ever again. Salome...what the hell are you wasting your talent directing rubbish like this? This is way below your level! As far as the producers go, which moron out of the bunch read this script and jumped in the air and said "I have to make this!" I would put money on it that not one of the producers has been educated past the 12th grade...and that's being generous!Okay, now that I got that out of the way, her we go:Attempting to make an overbearing character endearing is a tricky proposition, and it's one that Nia fails miserably at in this film. The story of a mother who tries to steamroll her sexually confused teenage son into adopting a gay lifestyle, Nia quickly wears out her welcome. Stupid concept, stupid execution.BOTTOM LINE: This poorly written rubbish fails on every level!

The people giving this movie 1 star have no idea how hard it is to make a movie. They have no idea how much work, time and heart goes into making a movie, ESPECIALLY an independent film. 1 star means that the movie failed completely on every level and that is just indisputably wrong. This movie looks and sounds as good as a studio romcom. The performances are all solid and the story holds up.If we don't support independent movies we're only going to get boring, vanilla stories and comic book movies.I would challenge everyone who rated this movie 1 star to try to do better and then get their heads out of their .

I can honestly say I've never seen a movie like this. It takes all the recycled stereotypes like the blond cheerleader and rocker dead-beat dad and flips them on their head. The cheerleader is actually really cool and fed up with the in-crowd and the rocker dad really cares and is open and understanding. The movie made me want to know more about these characters and where their lives go after the movie ends.I also thought it was really interesting that the lead character is "undeclared," not gay, straight, or bi. He just doesn't know. It felt really honest and true. I feel sorry for people with mom's like Nia Vardalos' character. That would be so awkward and horrible!
