Fin and his father Al, gets close to an ex-burlesque queen after the demise of his mother, but soon their relationship become sour when they find out that she is enchanting both of them with her love.
Oedipal wackiness, arch stabs at farce, and nickel-and-dime fantasy frolics ensue, producing a seriously disagreeable stir of unmixable narrative and stylistic ingredients.
This rather underpowered tale of sexual awakening and grief proceeds at a leisurely pace before a couple of late scenes that strive to outdo each other for sheer melodramatic overreach.
