User review – imdb
I’ve been glad that after 8years a sequel was made although been hesitant since all the cast are new. Well, for a sequel that was made after long years obviously original actors aged already and they wont catch up with the setting but kudos for the new sets of casts (they really keep up to portay the characters very well as the original). It’s good that the story was further more stretch, the film gives more meaning to Brian and Chase life and love story and another nice thing are less recycled comedy. There’s more to laugh. Not surprising it even get a much higher rating compare to original. To all the cast and crew, director etc. congratulations. P.S. Hoping for more sequel, it was hinted they’re going to be family fathers? Please, please do make the third part.
Plot
A conservative widow, Mae Davis (Joanne McGee) and her spinster sister Rose (Carol Goans) are determined to find the perfect girl for Mae’s son Brian (Stewart Carrico), until they accidentally discover that Brian is gay and had been in a relationship for the previous five years with Dennis, who they thought was just his roommate.
After coming to terms with her son’s homosexuality and learning that Dennis left Brian for another man, Mae decides to find the perfect man for Brian. She and Rose explore online gay dating and visit a gay bar, where they befriend drag queens, leathermen and an art student, Chase (Steve Snyder) who works in the bar as a stripper.
They host a dinner, intending to introduce Brian and Chase, but Brian surprises them by arriving with Jennie Sue (Ginger Pullman), the daughter of a Christian preacher, and announcing that he is no longer gay and that he intends to marry her shortly. Mae is convinced that Brian is shying away from the possibility of love to avoid being hurt as he was by Dennis, but she decides not to let him trap himself into a loveless marriage.
Mae hosts another dinner, this time inviting her friends from the gay bar and the members of a local gay youth group as well as Jennie Sue’s parents. The party quickly devolves into chaos, and ends with Brian admitting that he can’t marry Jennie Sue since he’s still gay, while Jennie Sue’s parents reveal that she’s a closeted lesbian and disown her.
Mae and Rose take Jennie Sue to live in with them for the time being, and the movie ends with all characters celebrating Brian and Jennie Sue’s newfound freedom, leaving open a possibility for Brian and Chase to get together.
A sequel titled You Should Meet My Son 2! was released in 2018.
