Family fare
The new frontier, gay dad comedies.
As a starter this one is very good. Beyond sitcom and into the area of warmth and love.
I enjoyed this film very much which, as far as I can tell, was its purpose.
Two gay men have a baby and plan a birthday party for her. She will be one.
The usual onlookers provide the laughs. A potential grand mom, the required bigot, many lovely people who surround the young family and very believable Dads who are certainly handsome but are at least two stages beyond the gay life as we have seen it depicted before.
There is not one sex scene in this. Very conventional. They do have a double bed. Lucy and Desi.
The jokes are fast and furious and while the usual fun is made of the tight ass bigots even they get a bit of love.
Oh, the birthday cake is for the kid and even the cake is hilarious. No spoken lines, but it does not need any.
I will buy this and watch it again. For sure.
A 5 out of Netflix5.
