Not long after moving into her own place, Maggie finds herself with two unsolicited roommates: her recently divorced mother, Lila, and her young brother. The timing is especially bad, considering Maggie has fallen hard for an attractive woman, Kim, only hours before they move in. What could be a nonissue becomes increasingly complicated—since Maggie’s family is unaware of her sexual orientation, and Maggie is not open to sharing that information.

Scant hours before her uptight mother and brother move in with her, Maggie meets the woman of her dreams and must hide her sexual orientation. The cast on this is just about perfect. This is funny and bitter when it needs to be and the characters all had some depth to them which just added to the moments when it was going for funny or touching or both. And as far as amazingly intimate love scenes go, the painting sequence was fantastic. My only complaint was that everything kind of felt rushed towards the end of the film but other than that I loved it.
