even though this movie come out a year before i be bear and it be definetely one of my favorite comedy . it star redd foxx a a father who try to understand his son homosexuality . like most parent and he doesn not know a thing about what it mean to be gay and have all of these stereotypical notion of what gay people be like . his son and norman and be now grow up and live on his own . when his father and ben and find out that his son be gay and he pay his son a visit in hope of change him . the title come from one of the funny line in the movie when ben get to norman apartment he run into a female prostitute and think it his son in drag ( norman . be that you . ) . the movie have me laugh from start to finish . redd foxx be great . although a lot of the content be stereotypical and i do not find anything offensive about the way the material be handle and and it even have a good end . highly recommended .
