MediocreGoodWatch scoreSummary
Based in the '80s, this coming-of-age comedy revolves around a woman determined to be the perfect mother. After she finds gay porn under her son's bed on the morning of his 16th birthday, the two go on an absurd, yet earnest, cat-and-mouse ride to find out what this "really means."
