CGiii Comment

Time to don the PC mantle...gay couple want a kid...via a surrogate - who is a small fat witch (literally).

Prepare for a journey into a dippy hippy world - these are people playing with life - all intelligence has flown out of the window in order to serve these demented fools.

The film itself is an amateur home-made video - there is no counter-argument, no investigation, no balance and astoundingly bad music.

The birthing sequence will definitely split the jury...make your own mind up...the symbolic cutting of the cord is a grotesque display of delusion.

Surrogacy for financial gain is morally wrong - buying babies is akin to slavery.

As a film, it is an unintelligent absurdity.

The(ir) Blurb...

Long time New York City gay male couple Mark and Erik want to have a baby. When they find Wen, a wiccan who lives in Maine, to be their surrogate, they embark on a wondrous journey of self discovery, joy, disappointment, grief, and joy again, with themselves, their own families, and their new family.
