Introducing the Dwights is a charming little film that is out now in select theaters, with releases continuing on through August. With so many action-packed movies out this summer, this is a nice change of pace.
It is
a heartfelt comedy about a mother who tries to come between her son and
his coming-of-age (whose mother doesn't right?).
Tim’s mom, Jean, is a bawdy and risqué comedienne
still hoping to make it big. His brother Mark helps their mother
rehearse for shows. Together, they inhabit a non-traditional household
where chaos is the norm, the music is always on, and Jean’s
larger-than-life personality takes center stage.
When Tim meets and
falls for Jill, his home becomes a combat zone as his mother fears this
new girl, whose name she refuses to remember, will “break up” the
unique family unit she’s tried so hard to keep together.
In this quirky,
and frequently endearing story, Tim must learn to manage the emotions of
the women in his life without losing himself in the process.
