Letting go of your past is hard... Especially when it's dating your mom.

ComedyRomance

Taken aback by his mother's wedding announcement, a young man returns home in an effort to stop her from marrying his old high school gym teacher, a man who made high school hell for generations of students.

VIBE

This film feels like an extended, uncomfortable high school reunion. It's a cringe comedy that mines awkwardness for laughs, blending nostalgic jabs at youth with a surprisingly sweet, if predictable, romantic subplot.
