Did anyone else think that Richie's mom was his gay lover...


at first glace?

First there was Richie with curlers in his hair and (what I thought) was an obvious gay guy calling him to come to dinner.

Figured it was a little twist to show why he didnt jump on Amy Adams in a previous scene.

Along with the confusing plot of this movie, this scene had made the plot more convoluted. Was his mom a he or a she? O_o

Because to me, it looked like a "he".

That was exactly what I thought until he said 'mom'!

No.

Richie was wearing curlers to keep his hair curly. It was the style back then.

His mother was dressed like a man because she probably realized she was a lesbian after Richie's father was out of the picture, and wanted to dress butch.

Yup. I had the exact same reaction. I was well confused for half that scene.

I thought that person was his dad.
