    Very beautiful movie - very sweet and human. Views tolerance through the eyes of a child and how you have to "keep low" and be a part of conformism in order to be respected and accepted by others.

    This is a sweet, if rather formulaic family comedy. The genuine laughs seem a little few and far-between, but I really liked the twist on functional nuclear family life, as well as the examination of gay identity.

The t...( read more)hing I liked most was the homosexual main character's hilarious worry that his lover's flamboyant nephew might "make him gay", in the paranoid, homophobic Republican sense. Very cute and heartwarming, but you've seen this before.

    I enjoyed this movie. Eric is trying the keep his lifestyle private. After all he is a tough pro hockey player - an enforcer no less. Eric's partner, Sam inherits Scot after his sister dies. The problem is, Scot may just blow Eric's cover.

Trust me, this fil...( read more)m will make you want to jump out of there.

    it turned out to be okay, did I just say that. felt bad for the homosexual kid... what a fruit! j.k.

    I wish they'd accused the kid of being a possible transgendered person instead of gay. Dresses and makeup do not mean homosexual.
