I loved this movie. It's not just about two former enemies falling in love. It has a subtext about not listening. The daughter and son in law ignore Mama's input until she has to fix the mess they got themselves into. This is not about listening to your elders. This is about people who think they know it all telling others what to say and think. It could easily have been about a child trying to tell their parents something and being dismissed. The mother gets put in her place by her children. They fail because they think they are so smart and experienced. Mama tries to tell them little things all along, they treat her like she's stupid and old fashioned. She bides her time and waits until they are ready to listen to her. This happens so often in life. People are dismissive of other people's input. They put others into little categories so they can ignore them. I liked the ending where her kids are begging her to tell them what to do. And the lovely beginning to the offbeat courtship.
