Ideal Home

I have to admit that 20-30 years ago I would not have watched a movie like this but times (and people) change.

I just happened to come across it while browsing Netflix for something different so, other than the blurb, I knew nothing about it. It takes a lot to get me laughing out loud during a movie but this one certainly had me going right from early on. Even the bit parters were funny.

A very pleasant and enjoyable 90 minutes.

The widescreen cinematography was superb and did I hear a (slight) homage to Ennio Morricone in some of the outdoor scenes?

What a truly enjoyable, heart warming movie this is. It's bound to have its critics in a world still obsessed with old fashioned ideals.

Coogan and Rudd have worked together in some fine films, and combine incredible well, with real chemistry. Coogan at times sounding like a relative of Edina Monsoon.

The kid obviously undergoes a transformation, and the outcome is perhaps a little predictable, but it's the journey that's important here, not the destination.

A well meaning funny film, that sets out a message that the rules of convention have changed. 8/10

Ageless hunk Paul Rudd (Clueless) and Steve Coogan (Philomena) star as an older gay couple who suddenly inherit a child. The child belongs to Coogans a.k.a Erasmus son played by sexy Jake McDorman (Greek) after being arrested. They live an R rated lifestyle but it's hilarious to watch them curb their ways and form a bond. It's not a wholly original concept but it's never been explored in this context. And that's definitely a plus because it's nice to see films of this context being explored with an lgbtq couple. It's hilarious, genuine and heartfelt. Rudd and Coogan are magic and it's all overly entertaining.

8.5/10

Steve Coogan and Paul Rudd are both wonderful. If you aren´t scared of gay men and you like a good laugh, then see this. What else is there to say? :)

I hadn't heard anything about this film and just stumbled across it on Netflix. Decided to give a go, not expecting much, and now here I am writing a review on IMDB to encourage anyone who is wavering to definitely watch!

It's a lovely, funny and heartwarming film. Coogan and Rudd are excellent and have great on screen chemistry - the characters are all well constructed and each goes on their own journey (ok - somewhat predictably, but so what? It's a comedy..) and, despite their flaws, are all really likeable

Would definitely recommend
