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.

This was an unexpected bit of Canadiana and from 1999, too. It fits clearly into its genre but is subject matter would have been rather avant-garde for it’s time (although “about time!” for others). I don’t know how mainstream it would have been for the film community but it featured Canadian royalty (Wendy Crewson and Peter Outerbridge). The tone plays between light and brutal, so it doesn’t shy away from the realities of our out communities. I give this film a 7 (unexpected) out of 10. [Romantic Comedy].
