Really, Gabriel?! (2024)

LOGLINE: "After a surprise visit from his pretentious boyfriend, a talented young singer must navigate their first meet and greet with his no-nonsense mother." At the onset, we have a homecoming of sorts as the wildly talented Gabriel Williams, a mousy, young college student, visits his mother. It is heavily implied that he is on one of his routine breaks from school. Hattie "Momma" Williams, a jovial, plus size progressive southern belle, greets her son with an overwhelmingly loving embrace. Soon, Gabriel is serenading his mother in the living room. This also serves as a rehearsal for their forthcoming Mother-Son Day Bazaar. However, they are abruptly interrupted by Chad, a snarky, middle-aged, shade-throwing narcissist, who turns out to be Gabriel's boyfriend. Needless to say, Chad makes a horrendous first impression. He even attempts to bar young Gabriel from performing at the Bazaar as Momma Hattie spends much of her time feverishly trying to convince her son that he not only deserves better, but he can certainly do better. What (or whom) will Gabriel choose?
