ActionComedy

A tough police sergeant's mother comes to visit him, and promptly starts trying to fix up his life, much to his embarrassment. For his birthday she buys him a machine gun out of the back of a van, and begins to further interfere with his job and love life, eventually helping him with a case he's on.

VIBE

This is a boisterous 90s action-comedy, brimming with slapstick and a uniquely endearing, if often cringeworthy, mother-son dynamic. Expect a lighthearted, chaotic ride as maternal meddling collides with police work, delivering a steady stream of laughs and improbable situations. It's pure, unpretentious fun.
