By the end of Introducing the Dwights, you may be glad you met them — notably Jean (Brenda Blethyn), an Englishwoman who's making do Down Under long after her stand-up-comedy career stalled from domestic woes.
Pushing 60, Jean is a bitter bully toward her two sons: the absurdly patient Tim (Khan Chittenden) and the lovable, mentally challenged Mark (Richard Wilson).
Conflict spins from Tim's belated coming of age and assertion of independence. Instead of driving his mother to modest comedy gigs on nights after her soul-sapping day job, he wants to see new girlfriend Jill (Emma Booth), who's eager, inviting and compassionate.
