CGiii Comment

A massively complex subject - mishandled by amateurs...it is, most definitely, a heartfelt production - and those emotions get in the way.

There is no balance - it's one-sided...from start to finish.

Mixed-race adoption and the inherent problems, surrogacy and the inherent problems, gay divorce and the inherent problems - all deserving individual attention.

To its credit...it does raise a plethora of important questions...however, it fails to answer any of them appropriately.

Distinctly amateur.

What if your most controversial act turned out to be the most traditional thing in the world? Daddy & Papa explores the growing phenomenon of gay fatherhood and its impact on American culture. Through the stories of four different families, Daddy & Papa delves into some of the particular challenges facing gay men who decide to become dads. From surrogacy and interracial adoption, to the complexities of gay divorce, to the battle for full legal status as parents, Daddy & Papa presents a revealing look at some of the gay fathers who are breaking new ground in the ever-changing landscape of the American family.
