Ellen McNulty leaves her New Jersey hamburger stand and heads west to pay a surprise visit to her son and his new bride. When Ellen arrives, her daughter-in-law mistakes her for the maid she has hired for a big party they are throwing. Rather than cause any embarrassment, Ellen goes along with the charade, which leads to many complications.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy comedy about a working-class mother navigating high-society pretension through deliberate deception. It's a light-hearted romp that mines genuine warmth from the collision between humble sincerity and social climbing.
