Endearing coming-of-age crowd-pleaser that features an outstanding Brenda Blethyn as a middle-aged stand-up comedienne hoping to hit it big. She's also an overbearing matriarch who has a difficult time dealing with her son's budding love affair with an attractive and likable young lady (Emma Booth), whom she sees as a threat to their not-so-perfect family life. Khan Chittenden is superb as the lad-in-love. Directed by Cherie Nowlan.
