Preston, Michael Emerson, and Lurie Poston star in director James Vasquez's coming of age comedy about a young boy obsessed with dresses, dolls, and cheerleading. Joshua Dowd (Poston) isn't like the other boys in class. All Joshua's single mother Andy (Carrie Preston) wants is for her son to be normal, but instead of joining the wrestling team like the rest of his classmates Joshua longs to try out for his school's all-girl cheerleading team. Upon receiving the news that her absent father has died, Andy is surprised to see her wayward brother Alex (John G. Preston) appear unannounced on her doorstep. Perhaps now that these estranged siblings have finally come back together, they can finally start to understand what it truly means to be a "family" - even if they don't fall under the traditional definition of the word. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Fr. Chris Carpenter, Movie Dearest
Charming; one of the ten best films of 2008.
Fr. Chris Carpenter, Orange County and Long Beach Blade
Charming and criminally unreleased theatrically; one of the ten best films of 2008
Beth Accomando, KPBS.org
The film works so well because it comes from something personal and you can't fake intimate details that come from life. You'll come out of this one cheering.
