Is it just me or was Raymond a little too close with his mother?


His mother sits on his lap, he stares lovingly into her eyes, he keeps pawing at her, and they get a little too intimate when they kiss. On the mouth like lovers.

Little creepy to me.

I think the mother has the hots for Robert Taylor

Well, the movie never got very deep into the relationships, keeping things light enough for its comedic needs. The scenes with Raymond and his mother were perhaps exaggerated a bit for comedic effect - the expository point was to show that he had a loving mother, as otherwise Raymond's entire family would've hated him, which would've been a bit too harsh for the movie's tone.
