Plot
Life for shy 21-year-old Tim Maitland is not always smooth sailing. His mum Jean is a cafeteria worker by day who hits the comedy club circuit by night, while his dad John is busy trying to recapture his fifteen minutes of fame from when he was a country and western singer back in 1975. But when the feisty beautiful Jill walks into Tim's life, things seem to be looking up. Unfortunately, there's another woman in Tim's life, one who will stand between him and the perfect romance: his mother.
