A sweet but ineffective comedy that cashes in on drag culture’s new mainstream fame. While the movie brings up a handful of important topics, the way it handles issues like drug addiction and physical abuse ultimately feel superficial and hollow. Fortunately, a few sparkling performances salvage the show from becoming too maudlin.

Today, homophobia may still blight many a queen’s family relations, but Stage Mother feels dated and formulaic.

The feelgood tone feels a little flaccid.
