Resumé
Justin and Julie-Ann are hopelessly mismatched in love, and about to introduce their respective parents to each other over dinner in his Docklands apartment; Justin's upper crust alcoholic mother, and Julie-Ann's bigoted Yorkshire father and prim mother. Plans start to go awry when Paige, a former lap-dancer, drops in from the flat above, trying to escape her gangster boyfriend. Things don't improve when Paige's 'minder' arrives.....  The orchestrated mayhem that ensues is tempered by subtle insights into family relationships and class distinction.
