CGiii Comment
Oh dear - totally miscast, over-acted - laboriously laboured.
The uninvolving self-indulgence on show will make you increasingly cringe as this film descends into a glutinous dogs dinner.

The(ir) Blurb...
Beginning as a critically-acclaimed play and based on a true story, Surprise Surprise is a moving and unpredictable portrait of a closeted TV star, his much younger disabled lover, and the troubled teenage son he never knew he had. Infused with dark humor and set behind the doors of a secluded home in Malibu, Den Jorgensen's seemingly idyllic life is permanently altered when his son David, a swaggering 15-year-old homophobe, unexpectedly arrives at his doorstep. David's arrival forces Den to confront his already problematic relationship and, eventually, all three are compelled to join together to redefine the concept of what constitutes a family.
