It’s a shame Delilah doesn’t get more screen time because aside from expert pancakery, she is the best part of the movie! A chance encounter brings Delilah and her daughter to the doorstep of a single mother whose priorities deviate from rescuing a Quack Quack. Fast-forward to an unhappy, grown Peola whose light skin gives her a case of mistaken identity so she breaks her mother’s heart. Shoehorn in a really cringey love story in which the guy dating Miss P. also becomes the object of her daughter’s affections and it’s a breakfast delight with uncomfortable scenes from The Graduate.
