Some lowbrow bathroom humor aside, "Saugatuck Cures" commences like a Lifetime movie in which Maggie (Judith Chapman), proprietor of a bed-and-breakfast in the titular bucolic Michigan town, presides over Thanksgiving dinner with dutiful gay son, Drew (Max Adler); stuck-up daughter, Penelope (Amanda Lipinski); Penelope's deacon fiancée, Paul (Matthew Klingler); Penelope's unfaithful alcoholic ex, Brett (Danny Mooney); the arbitrary token black transsexual, LaQuisha (Julianne Howe-Bouwens); and some random lady, Roberta (Ingrid Mortimer), whose cat Drew once rescued.
Maggie has cancer and can't afford treatment — so far, so Lifetime.
