Unfortunately in Jean's eyes there is only room for one woman in Tim's life, and that woman is his mother.

    A very good movie, indeed. It turned out much better than the very beginning scenes. An offbeat, very Australian,showing an intriguing culture. Very psychological, as an intriguing, but very dominating mother, tries to control the lives of her very different teen age sons. It is quite unconventional, and at times, hilariously funny in way that only Brenda Blethyn can portray.

    Barely promoted and strangely absent from video store shelves, "Introducing the Dwights" is one of those sleepers that surprises with its resonance. Blethyn is marvelous as always, illustrating a frustrated comedianne and single mother with unexpected contradictions. What could easily have been a shrill, one-note performance is layered--one moment she's self-loathing and vain, the next compassionate, envious, pitiful, engaging, and tragic. The relationship between her sons and Jill, the girlfriend, are natural and effective as well.
