I thought wrong, I mostly hated it.

The mother is merely trying to keep him from being a loner. Harold doesn’t care, he likes Maude instead. Maude is an unorthodox woman. She’s an enlivened old lady that lives in the fast lane, without any hang-ups.

That **** just gets under my skin in a bad way and I hate it. The only vague whisper of any of that is Harold's plan to marry Maude. Say what you will, but that's a checkbox ticked on my list of "Stupid Things You're Wasting My Time With". That part of the movie is infinitesimally small compared to everything else though. The idea that the two love interests take a wild stab at taboos by featuring a social recluse and a criminal with an extreme age....
