CGiii Comment
A perfect little film with Russell Crowe doing his gay routine - admirably.
The sincerity of this film is its strong point - a father that actually approves of (and encourages) his son's homosexuality.
You see...when writers go against the grain they come up with material that is far more rewarding and insightful - a joy to watch.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Set in Sydney, Australia. A (heterosexual) father and his gay son are trying to find Ms/Mr Right respectively. The film shows their relationships with one another and the objects of their affection as tradgedy strikes. There is no overt 'message' in the film, just a very natural, entertaining story-telling.
