    Hilarious but definitely compelling, cute and heartbreaking. The characters are so delicious and perfectly written (and the performances are flawless) and they go beyond "being gay" and are true human beings with many different lives and issues, and the gay factor stays as just a...( read more) simple element that doesn't take over the entire movie.

    Absolutely wonderful and entertaining!
    A sweet movie with sweet bears!

    I enjoyed this immensely. Another movie that expands the definition of what a family is. I did find the ending a little abrupt but certainly worth watching.

    Great to finally see a gay man who is like a real gay man not just a stereotype.

    Otra mas acerca de lo que es una verdadera familia.
    una de esas que se forma por las vueltas de la vida y que igual que cualquier familia tiene momentos bueno y otros no tan buenos pero como sea se mantiene unida sin ninguna razón mas que el amor

    Definetly flawed but thought-provoking description of part of the bear subculture. And while the profile we're given ain't nice at all (superficiality, drugs, immaturity galore) question still pends, are we serious these men can't raise a child properly? Is society, by not allowi...( read more)ng gays to adopt actually perpetuating the stereotype? A lot of subtle issues going on, but not really strong on the resolution. A must see, even if can't be fully recommended for its quality.

    Me gustó poruqe representa de buena forma las actitudes de los homosexuales ante la vida. La inocencia del niño es muy divertida.

    Wonderful Movie. It's great because it doesn't deal with the cliché gay movie plot lines. No AIDs, not fight for acceptance, no dead boyfriend, no getting beat u ect. it is simply a story centering around a character who happens to be gay. yes it's subtitled but so what, some of ...( read more)the best movies are subtitled. it's a film step towards to "normalization" of homosexuality. No hackneyed stereotypical gays here. The character only noteworthy trait isn't that he is gay but that he is a well thought out multi-dimensional person. Score one for gay movies !

    A beautiful story of love and family. The subtitles can zip by quickly sometimes, but you forgive and move on because the story is so beautiful.
