Ideal Home

I am stunned by some of the negative reviews - someone actually wrote they did not laugh once. All I can assume is they must have been watching a different movie.

While there were some cliched moments and I could have predicted some parts, I really enjoyed this movie. All of the main characters were extremely likable and I found myself rooting for them. There were many moments, while understated, that were absolutely hilarious - No cheap laughs at the expense of the characters.

One last thing, and I hope I'm not overstepping as a heterosexual, but I thought the gay relationship between Paul and Erasmus was treated with respect and not demeaned in any way. I'm not sure how often this occurs, but I would guess not often enough (I hope I'm wrong).

Such a sweet, heart felt story. Definitely worth a watch.

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? :)
