I enjoyed the movie, but I found it very implausible that Kerry Washington's character, who would cancel an entire prom just to stop one gay kid from going, was suddenly accepting of her gay daughter just a few hours after her coming out. Especially given how controlling she was towards her daughter all the way through the movie, and how much she expected her to meet her crazily high expectations. It was clearly a case of "we don't have time to do a nuanced exploration of this situation and we need that happy ending!" I mean they had a complicated situation there that I haven't often seen explored but know happens sometimes: one partner in an LGBT couple wants to be out and proud, and the other can't come out because of the very real and scary threat of being rejected by their family - possibly even being thrown out or being sent to conversion therapy. It's a shame they didn't explore this more, or show Kerry Washington's character reject her daughter. I guess it was too dark for the movie's theme. It wouldn't have been as convenient or uplifting, but it would have been more accurate. Brushing the problem away felt like the easy option.
