Here come the grooms…and their mothers! The movie screened on closing night of this year's Outfest film festival in LA was the wonderful comic romp "Queens." It maybe be a Spanish-language movie but trust me, nothing is lost in translation. The mother and gay son comedy will be out on DVD on Dec. 5 and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Here is the plot: As Spain prepares for its first-ever mass gay wedding, so must five mothers. Over the course of one weekend, these uncompromising women must learn to cope with a variety of family conflicts surrounding the marriages of each of their sons. While these very different mothers learn to deal with their own desires and prejudices, a clash of sex, bigotry and love ensues. Amongst the hilarious chaos, all five women must find the strength and love they need in order to give their sons away.

Released by Genius Products and here! Films, the movie stars five of Spain's most beloved actresses: Carmen Maura (star of Pedro Almodóvar’s Volver, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Matador, Law of Desire), Marisa Paredes (All About My Mother), Mercedes Sampietro (Common Ground), Verónica Forqué and Betiana Blum. Directed by Manuel Gómez Pereira, the film also stars Raul Garcia, Gustavo Salmeron and Daniel Hendler.
