Paul: You know that if you were dying... I would cut the heart out of my chest for you. I would die so that you would live. That's how much I love you. That's how much I worship you. And I think that you actually know. You know that. And it doesn't matter to you.
Erasmus: It does matter to me.
Paul: It doesn't matter. And I can't stand it anymore.

Featured review
This movie makes you feel good. It IS funny from the Eramus' ridiculous coffee cup and pink T-shirt to the over the top birthday party and the f----ing rainbow. Two self indulgent gay men suddenly are tasked with the responsibility of a 10 year old grandson who has a loser of a father. This was never in their plans. What was so endearing is that the child is understandably rebellious and insulting at times but these two men are nothing but kind and patient, trying very hard to be good parents. You should watch this film several times before you review it. Like Laurel and Hardy movies, each time you do you'll catch something else. The verbal under his breath barbs from Paul to Erasmus are funny. Typical good cop bad cop comedy. Glass is half full, glass is half empty personalities. It makes you feel good to see the love, patience and yes indulgence towards the child, to make him happy and be good parents for him. I love this movie.
