| Family Home TheaterJames PlathSexual orientation aside, it's the kind of film that can have you looking past family member faults and focusing on what's important. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe novelty of this Australian working class comedy of manners is that sexual orientation is not a probelm. Father and gay son (nicely played by Russell Crowe) enjoy the kind of warm, amiable relationship thast's unheard of and unseen in American films |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisA second look reveals everything wrong with the movie, but on first pass, it's well-performed and enjoyably crafted. |
| User ReviewAdele Hi don't think you can rent this anywhere unfortunately but if you ever get the chance to see it you won't believe russell crowe. i am sure he was a pin up for every gay guy that saw this movie |
| User ReviewBrenVic BThis is probably my favorite gay-related film of all time. I am also a big Russell Crowe fan. |
| User ReviewRosemary KRussel Crowe before the Oscar. Great little feel good movie! |
| User ReviewJonathan FBeautifully written and acted comedy/drama that introduces us to two wonderful people who don't quite get everything they deserve. |
| User ReviewKatharine HOne of the funniest most moving films I've ever seen. |
| User ReviewBrent MIts a movie that shows not all families have to be dysfunctional. Russel Crowe's "quieter" role, plus is dad in this movie is just amazing. |
| User ReviewJoe Rone of the best movies I've seen this year. |
