A scripted feature about falling in love. But it’s the kind of love that exists between a parent and a child. The type of love that must persist, even when the one you love insists on being a fucking idiot. In the vein of The Big Sick, this film uses comedy as a coping mechanism through dark times. One Sick Mother is based on the true story of Jimmy Kimmel Live writer Laurie Kilmartin and her mom.
