Not sure why this film wasn't better recieved. Perhaps because the homos here aren't playing up to be liked abd filling some woke expectation of triumphing over their rough coming out experience.
I found the two leads to be truthful and nuanced in their portrayals, so kudos to them and the scriptwriter (you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear)!
The central conceit 'unexpected parenthood changes self absorbed adults for the better', is an old trope, but this time round it's updated not just for the sake of it, but to bring new light through old windows as it were.
I'm sure some will be shocked that straight actors are playing gay, personally I want good actors and these two are both excellent. Much to enjoy for an intelligent audience.
