William and Anita’s mother doesn’t create the most supportive environment for her children. She’s so afraid of her kids being brainwashed by rock music, but her restrictive behavior ultimately drives both of them away.

A mom acting out of love rather than malice, she starts to see the error of her ways by the end of the film. In particular, when Russell arrives at her house believing it to be Penny’s, she gives him an earful after the way he treated her son and gets him to apologize.
