CGiii Comment
An above average offering for this genre - due to Hytner being at the helm...and, an exceptional supporting cast.
The comedy is mostly offset by a sensitive and soul-searching honesty that saves this from being trite.
It is worth watching - pure escapism that doesn't succumb to its initial idealism.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
George and Nina seem like the perfect couple. They share a cozy Brooklyn apartment, a taste for tuna casserole dinners, and a devotion to ballroom dancing. They love each other. There's only one hitch: George is gay. And when Nina announces she's pregnant, things get especially complicated. Vince - Nina's overbearing boyfriend and the baby's father-wants marriage. Nina wants independence. George will do anything for a little unqualified affection, but is he ready to become an unwed surrogate dad?
