![]() ![]() They croon: “very Mother’s Day / Needs a mother’s night / If doing it is wrong / I don’t want to be right.”Īnd so, with a good-son pat on the back – “They will be so surprised / We are so cool and thoughtful” – the mother-lovers initiate a “switcheroo,” which sees their mothers (played by Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson) “sex … right.”Įnter Three-Way (The Golden Rule). In between a gym workout (acid-wash and neon), and a street-meat luncheon (lots of orange silk), the Don Juan duo – desperate to show their mothers (both of whom are single and “forlorn”) just how much they care – come up with “the second-best idea” they’ve ever had: “We should fuck each other’s mothers.” ![]() Coincidentally, it’s Mother’s Day – and both have forgotten to arrange gifts.
