Olympia Dukakis plays that scourge of many a man's life, the interfering mother - in this case a widow recovering in hospital from cancer who decides that her lawyer son (John Stamos) really ought to take a bride. She picks her nurse (Kelly Rowan), but her boy is a wayward womaniser and has other ideas. It may be a predictable comedy, but it does have some witty dialogue, and Dukakis (who also shares some amusing scenes with Della Reese as her best friend) keeps it all together in her strong maternal role.
