After ten years, Sheldon returns from New York City to Paris, Georgia. His mother Evelyn, a laundress who is stubborn, ornery, opinionated, mean-spirited, insulting, and inflexible, has sent a ten-year-old boy who says he's Sheldon's son up to see Sheldon. Sheldon comes home to straighten things out. Old arguments flare up - between mother and son and between brothers. Sheldon wants no part of fatherhood or family. Then, someone else from New York shows up at Evelyn's door, bringing a new set of challenges. Will this family ever stop airing its dirty laundry? And what of Sheldon: where is his pride? Can he, in the words of James Baldwin, go where his blood beats and live the life he has?

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The tone is good-natured enough to make a simple movie semi-watchable.
– Kyle Smith,

fresh:
Looking for plot holes? You can't miss them. But if you go in hoping for a good time, you'll find that, too.
– Elizabeth Weitzman,

fresh:
Mr. Jamal's direction ranges from clumsy to competent. Fortunately, even as Mr. Jamal's characters hit notes reminiscent of a half-baked television pilot, they disclose eccentricities that his cast spins into comic gold.
– Matt Zoller Seitz,
New York Times,
7 Dec 2007

Overwritten and under-directed by Maurice Jamal, the movie contains several honest moments but remains too awash in clichA (C)s and stereotypes to take seriously.
– Gary Goldstein,
Los Angeles Times,

rotten:
Cheesy crockpot of a film.
