Review of Doing Time on Maple Drive (1992) by Lisa C — 08 Jun 2008
I recommend this movie to anyone who is comtemplating marriage. It showed that not only two people will be married but also marrying the family, their ideas, and lifestyle. Meeting the family and living in the hometwon you can "feel" the boat you are about to get into. So, it will depend on whether you want to sail in with the boat or jump out.
Sexuality as a "homosexual" is a sensitive matter esp. when it relates to family and learning how to live in that shadow.
Overall, the acting of of William McNamara and Jim Carrey as dramatic actors (no, Jim did not play the gay guy) really shines. Jim's is better here than as a comedian.
MORAL LESSON: Get to know your fiance(e) very well before comitting to marriage...
Lesson 2: Know what you want in life, and be accepted for your decision and for who you are.
