Synopsis

Filmmaker Maurice Jamal’s (Ski Trip) second feature is a family comedy that was a major hit on the film festival circuit last year. A prodigal son story with a twist, Dirty Laundry follows Patrick (Rockmond Dunbar), a black gay man who seems to have the perfect life - a great job at an upscale magazine, a cute young boyfriend and a hot apartment. Then a knock on his door sends him back to the traditionally crazed southern family he hasn’t seen in a decade. Mother Evelyn (Loretta Devine) is keeping a secret from him, nosy church lady Aunt Lettuce (Jenifer Lewis) won’t leave him alone, and his boyfriend makes a surprise appearance! With a rocking, gospel-infused soundtrack and an appearance by Alec Mapa, this wonderful comedy is designed to tickle the funny bone and touch the soul.

Delightful

Luis Rolando wrote on 02/27/2008:

Two years ago, I wrote a harsh and negative review about Maurice Jamal's debut film Ski Trip, and while my thoughts have not changed in respect to it, I must say Mr. Jamal has redeemed himself a hundred fold (no pun intended) with Dirty Laundry.

Boasting an impressive cast of extremely talented actors led by Rockmond Dunbar and Loretta Devine, Dirty Laundry achieves something rare and unheard of in the gay film genre: a positive, well-written, superbly-acted family film.

There are no duds here as far as acting goes, even neophytes like Joey Costello and the young child actors are terrific: Mr. Jamal himself manages to effortlessly erase bad and embarrassing memories of his performance in Ski Trip. I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie, and now I can confidently say I look forward to seeing Mr. Jamal's future projects.

I can't rave about this film enough. Buy it.
