Maggie (Christine Lakin) has her pristine Christmas holiday hijacked when her sexually liberated mother (Sharon Lawrence) brings her new boyfriend home to meet the family.
SYNOPSIS:
Maggie is perfectly fine that her newly single mother, Alice, has started dating again. A lot. In front of her. And in front of her two small children. But when Alice decides to spring her latest boy-toy on the family one Christmas morning, Maggie's most wonderful time of the year turns into her worst nightmare, and she's left to wonder: who is the mother here? Somebody's Mother is the story of one perfect woman's journey toward accepting her perfectly dysfunctional family.
