Marion and Mingus are together after failed relationships with other
partners. Marion has a young son
and Mingus has a daughter. They have been successful at creating a happy family together until Marion’s relatives come for a visit. Marion’s father, her sister and her
sister’s boyfriend are a lot to contend with. The fighting, arguing and hitting add a lot of tension to
their household. The language
difference and cultural differences further complicate events.
It is difficult to keep a connection with the characters since there is
so much manic energy that you just want all it to stop. It’s everything you don’t want in
your own life. There are some
funny moments but they are not enough to compensate and there are too many candid sexual
references. 3* (This movie is OK)
