Ready? OK
Running time: 93 mins
Ten-year-old Josh is on the wrestling team but would much rather be a cheerleader.
Josh loves dolls, fashion and desperately wants to cheer. As he continually argues his case with his school?s strict Mother Superior, his mother, Andrea, searches for her own answers on how to convince Josh that aspiring to be on the cheerleading squad, relishing the art of the French braid and calling Maria von Trapp his most influential role model is just not what little boys do!
Lurie Poston is irresistible as Josh, and Carrie Preston gives a moving performance as his mom, trying to understand and grasp the complexities of her lovable, ?artistic? son. As she gains an appreciation for how special Josh is, she also comes to learn a lot about both Josh and herself from her gay neighbor.
Comic, poignant and with the right dose of wacky farce, READY?OK! is a wonderful portrait of a mother embracing her son?s individuality and accepting him for the loving and exceptional person he truly is.
