George Newbern returns as Julia's son Payne, graduating from college early, getting married and expecting a child. The stress of the event and not feeling needed makes Julia get drunk at the wedding and perform "Sweet Georgia Brown" and seemingly sleep with Payne's best friend. She's also stressed over becoming a grandmother which makes her cut loose a bit more than ever.
Usually in her musical moments, Julia sang more ballads, but here gets to be a bit more jazzy and quite a bit like Bette Davis. Obviously, she's having a blast being a bit more flamboyant, preparing for the final scene when she plays Mame. The twist regarding Julia and the young co-ed has a touching twist, proving that even drunk, a lady is still a lady.
