I clicked because I saw my girl Lucy. I stayed watching because I saw drag queens. It's sad that his mother couldn't embrace his business when he was alive but in a way she saw that she could become a mother to those that need one. It's so important to have heartfelt movies even if they seem cheesy. Let us enjoy the cheese!
I think you all missed the point of her saving his dreams even after death because she failed as a mother and lost him due to her prejudice and blinded way. As a Christian, I think it is a good film to show to parents who discard their children over the choices they make. In the end we live the life we are meant to, not the ones our parents pick for us.
_"Different songs. Same divas. Some of the same wigs too."_ As someone who used to be Southern Baptist before I became a Christian... I can tell you that is so true.
I think it's a great movie. So many people didn't appreciate but it made me cry. It's deep. It's the story of a mother who lost her son prematurely without the chance to reconcile with him. She then tries to honor his son's legacy, even if it means adapting to a world that's very different from hers. She eventually comes to appreciate her son's greatness and she realizes just how much she missed out by estranging him because of how different he was. When she sings "Total eclipse of the heart" she is clearly reconciling spiritually with her son, making amends for what she did and honoring his existence, queerness and all. It's at the same time a tribute and an apology from a mother to her dead son. It definitely hit me in the feels. Some songs may have been clichés, some might think that it's not an original movie, but tbh it is original. It's not just about a conservative person converting to liberal ways. It's about a mother-son relationship. I can't think of other movies right now that tackle the theme of a mother losing her son after estranging him and then trying to reconcile with him by honoring his legacy. Even if there might be other movies similar to this, I don't think that this movie feels like a cliché. We constantly see movies about superheroes that fight supervillains from the DC Universe and we don't call them unoriginal even though they've always been done, and we call a movie about a grieving mother that tries to reconcile with his son after death unoriginal or stale? I find it ridiculous. If you found this movie stale or unoriginal then you probably failed to understand the depth of a mother's sorrow and regret after losing her child and her willingness to celebrate him in an effort to honor his existence. Go watch your movies with car chasing, gun battles and other cheap tricks if you find them more entertaining. I'd choose emotional depth over cheap action/thriller/horror movies any day...
You have to reconcile with your child while he/she is alive and not wait till he/she dies. I don't think it's original and maybe it is a moving film indeed, and yes all sorts of things happen in life. Yet I still find it a bit inappropriate when they show her overcome her bias and become a better person only because her son died. It also triviliazes the tragedy of his death as if it's the ''price'' for her development. Also, in real life it's not as sugary cause no matter what you do you won't be able to ''reconcile'' with your deceased loved on, you will forever feel guilty for not doing it sooner. ''celebrate'' my ass, he's dead, and no amount of cheesiness will fix this.
Also, sweetheart, you are preaching tolerancy yet you are not tolerant yourself. Just because some people didn't like this movie, doesn't necessarily mean they like ''cheap tricks''. Maybe they also love emotional depth but didn't find it here because guess what - PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. Cheesiness and vain pursuits of dead son's fogiveness is not ''deep'' for everyone. Get off your high horse, do better.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 I appreciate how real you kept it, I get your point. Maybe I really was a bit arrogant, I was mad about the reviews, so I got carried away. I don’t think that necessarily all action movies are cheap but I do think that the reviews about this movie were too harsh while there are many other movies (super hero movies etc etc) that often follow the same template and don’t get criticised nearly as much for not being original. Btw aside from this, this movie moved me. I don’t have the arrogance to state that this movie has to move everyone or that if someone doesn’t like it they lack emotional depth. I don’t think that the mother was an exemplary mother, it’s obvious that the movie was pretty tragic, as the son died prematurely without reconciling with the mother. But these things happen in real life, you don’t always get to reconcile with your loved ones while they are still alive. In this movie I don’t think that the death of the son was trivialised, it was depicted as a tragedy, the mother suffered greatly from it. I think that his death was such a powerful shock to her that it pushed her to do something about it and try to understand his son’s life/world better, to at least be able to get a grasp of what she missed during those years. She got to know his friends, his world and eventually she even managed to appreciate it and respect it. It’s true that sometimes in life a shock or even a tragedy can push you to let go of your prejudice and explore something that goes beyond your comfort zone. It doesn’t always have to work that way, but it happens in some cases, like in this movie. The reconciliation may not have physically happened, but spiritually the mother finally reconciled with his son, understood him better than she ever did while he was alive and she even found the strenght to honour his legacy. I think that for her being able to do that was important. Regardless of whether you are believer or not, whether our loved ones go on and get to see our “change of hearts” or not, being able to make peace with what happened is something valuable, even if our loved one is dead. Many sons/daughters witness their parents’ death without being able to reconcile with them while they are alive, and sometimes they make peace with the mistakes that were made in their relationships (on both sides) years after the parent’s passing, but it still matters a lot for their peace of mind. I think that the same goes when a parent loses their child unexpectedly.
Had a friend who did drag and years later his mother accepted it and actually tried to hook him up with her handsome hairdresser. The hairdresser said, Ms So&So you know I’m straight don’t you? She replied, so are noodles until you stick them in water. Lol. This was South Georgia. 😊
Rush B. Sure kid. Ru Paul’s $60million nett worth doesn’t seem to agree with you, but you be you and keep watching whole trailers to movies you pretend you believe nobody wants to watch. Ncaaaw xoxo
I’m in my 40s and I remember hearing about stories from the 80s during the AIDS crisis. Parents wouldn’t come see their sons even when they were dying. So sad. I will see this movie, looks good.
Stage Mother (2020) Jacki Weaver, Lucy Liu and Adrian Grenier. Also in the cast are Mya Taylor, Allister MacDonald, Oscar Moreno and Jackie Beats in their supporting roles.
I’m still gonna watch it, cause I don’t want Hollywood to feel like a concept about the queens isn’t bankable. I mean, aside from The Birdcage and To Wong Foo, there haven’t been many productions that I know of.
I loved this film. It’s not for everyone and in terms of plot etc It does feel weak however if your looking for something fun, exciting yet heartwarming then this is the film for you
If you're interested in this movie and don't mind reading subtitles/captions, you guys should check out Die Beautiful. It's a Filipino film. Its here on TH-cam but I haven't check if it's legit or if the video has a good quality. Sorry. But the story's good.
The delivery of "Oh my Lord, I've inherited a gay bar." is _priceless_. I wasn't familiar with Jackie Weaver prior to this trailer, but in less than 3 minutes I'm already enthralled with her performance. Peak genteel "under-reacting" southern manners. 🙂
Ok but seriously SO happy to see JACKIE BEAT OMG SO HAPPY FOR HER! She's seriously really brilliant, if you like drag then you'll love Jackie! She's a legend!
I m a professor in few highschools in Argentina and it s so hard for teens to face their sexuality already but when they are gay some cant really handle it and that leads them into depression like a student of mine is having right now, it s scary to get a message from him wondering if he s collapsing even worse than previous days ...

Am a macho , dam it, it's got Lucy and momy drama , am in
You encapsulated that so well. I'll bring the buttery popcorn.
lucy liu an my girl drew
Oh my goodness.. For some reason, your comment made me tears... Thank you for that warm comment!! I'll def watch this!
“I’m not looking at our son through your frightened eyes” shook me
That was a wonderful sentence
I'm trans, I live in the bible belt, my parents are baptist: I heard that line and I broke the fuck down crying.
@@ClovertheUnburnt Love you
I clicked cause of Lucy, I miss her so much on ELEMENTARY
You should really see 'why women kill', not bad at all.
@@22espec I wanted to say the exact same thing... shes so amazing in it
Me too 😂
Was about to suggest Why Women Kill too! She was phenomenal in it
Love watching Elementary just cause of her.
A southern, probably pretty conservative, baptist choir director takes over a drag bar from her deceased gay son.
That is definitely original.
Straight Savior trope.
@@TheCaliforniaboy1 Explain. This is shocking to read.
Conservative white person converted to Liberal ways. Hardly original.
I think you all missed the point of her saving his dreams even after death because she failed as a mother and lost him due to her prejudice and blinded way. As a Christian, I think it is a good film to show to parents who discard their children over the choices they make. In the end we live the life we are meant to, not the ones our parents pick for us.
no irony here
true original i see
and im so here for it yass
“My secret ingredient is resentment.” Great line
I already love this movie
_"Different songs. Same divas. Some of the same wigs too."_ As someone who used to be Southern Baptist before I became a Christian... I can tell you that is so true.
whats the difference between the 2 I thought both are Christian...
@@ANDJELINA , sadly.. no. You can be Southern Baptist and not know Christ.. just like you don't need to be denominational to be a Christian.
@@Panwere36 thats so weird....we don't have that in Europe.

The trailer gave me a sad feeling.. knowing what the mother doing after her child is gone.. It feels like a redemption movie, her redemption..

OMG😂😂😂 That's hilarious😂😂😂
Omg I’m from South Georgia
🤭
I needed to hear that and I didn’t even know it👏👏❤️💃🏽
Okay im super curious about this story. Doesnt feel typical type of plot. if this movie can pull my heartstrings, it will end me
haha...same. trailer looks like this could be a pamflet to give air to breathe.
idk if this looks good or bad, tbh rlly hope it doesnt flop
Looks sweet 🥰 and Lucy Liu like that? That's gotta be great! Hard to get what they're saying, though
It is going to flop! No body wants to see rags
Rush B. Sure kid. Ru Paul’s $60million nett worth doesn’t seem to agree with you, but you be you and keep watching whole trailers to movies you pretend you believe nobody wants to watch. Ncaaaw xoxo
It's small budget movie so it's hard to flop. I still hope it will do great tho hehehe

The ending is PERFECT!!!!! Such a great heart-warming movie. Must see!!! This will have you crying ❤
1.57 "it's alright, it's my mother." I'm in.
Comedy? I'm in tears just from this trailer! It's so moving and hopeful!

Omg, as if there were not enough light on this community? A u effin kidding?
@@annaheart7731 I'm sorry Karen, are you upset? later girl!
Oh my god! So original! I cried and laughed so much! So.nice to expose the relationship between a mother and her gay/drag son! Wonderfulll!!!!
I loved the movie. It was so sweet, kind and warm. Totally recommend it
can't wait. Lucy Liu is in it that's all I care about.
🥺she didn’t get to reconcile with her son😭
I’m literally crying why you do this
Cuz its reality for many people :(
I’m in my 40s and I remember hearing about stories from the 80s during the AIDS crisis. Parents wouldn’t come see their sons even when they were dying. So sad. I will see this movie, looks good.
O fog. Go gig.
because it's 2020!
I’ve always loved Lucy Lui
A mother's love is pure.

It might not look funny but Jackie Weaver is a pretty good actor plus I like Lucy Liu so I'm giving this a go
That Rad Guy it’s trash
I miss Lucy.
Lovely to see Australia's talented Jackie Weaver taking a stand in Hollywood 👏
Will watch anything starring Lucy Liu.

Jacki Weaver in a live-action hybrid of "Priscilla" and "To Wong Foo" is not the movie I knew I needed but after seeing this I can't wait!
Stage Mother (2020) Jacki Weaver, Lucy Liu and Adrian Grenier. Also in the cast are Mya Taylor, Allister MacDonald, Oscar Moreno and Jackie Beats in their supporting roles.
Here coz of Lucy Liu
Absolutely Brilliant film!!! Massively recommend it!!!
This is the drag equivalent to the white savior movie trope (green book, the blind side, hidden figures) 😂😂
Omg too true 🤣
I’m still gonna watch it, cause I don’t want Hollywood to feel like a concept about the queens isn’t bankable. I mean, aside from The Birdcage and To Wong Foo, there haven’t been many productions that I know of.
I will hate it for same reason but gonna watch it for lucy liu
Ducking agree!
So it would be the straight savior trope then? 😂👏🏼
I cant wait to see this movie.......I'm also inlove with Lucy😂🤫😍
Yes yes yes. I missed Lucy so much. Can't wait for this.
I saw Lucy so I clicked withing a heartbeat!
ADORE the cast (Jackie Weaver and Lucy Liu, PINCH ME!) - will definitely see this!

Honestly like her hair dark :) but I looooove everything she does
Been a hella long time since I have seen Lucy Lu do anything.
i love Lucy so much～
Lucy Lui one of my favorites actress. Love this movie ☺️
How can I see the movie?
With the property prices of SF, she should have sold it and run with the money
Thought the exact same thing at first. But its a lease so he doesnt own the building.
SF is a nightmare. 1000s of people flee there everyday. ➡️
I wanna see Lucy in this new role
This plot appears to be new and fresh. Worth seeing.
I lov this movie😭 this movie make me so much cry😭😭😭
Clicked in for Lucy Liu. Clicked out because of Adrian Grenier.
Jackie Weaver and Lucy Liu? Perfect.

Im straight, Im looking forward to seeing this on my free time.
I look forward to watching this!!!
I watch because of Lucy .
Feels like sister act with drag vibes... I'm totally here for it
Great to see Jacqui Weaver still doing great work overseas
THIS LOOKS AMAZING! i miss these kinds of movies
I watched it. It was nice. Could have been SO MUCH better script-wise. And direction was uninspiring, to say the least.
Walmart ain’t the only place to save 😂😢
Holy smokes! I love Jacki Weaver more ale more! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
it has my secret ingredient: resentment.

See, not everyone from the south is hateful. I was raised southern baptist and there are a lot of good people.
These movies....are the ones destroying Hollywood...
Wow, I like this movie!! Looking forward to it!!

I'm an old, straight, southern, white guy, and I think I'd like this movie. I hope I didn't just hurt ticket sales.
I genuinely lome this movie already! 😊
Low budget, lgbtq movie? I’m in!
