CGiii Comment
Mind-numbingly immature...that's the writing.
Jaw-droppingly bad...that's the story.
And...Jaime Cepero's performance is a masterclass in how not to do it! For Chrissakes...his character is meant to be 21 not 10!
A film about an inter-generational and inter-racial relationship. Sounds interesting. But...after seeing it...it's inexplicable as to why this little independent film has garnered so much praise.
Really...would a middle-aged, educated, successful gay man say: Who's the Daddy?!?
Unfortunately, in this case, he does...two too many times! We won't spoil it...but, when the revelation does come...expect a communal what-the-f**k groan. It - truly - is the most ridiculous plot twist in living memory. This old pederast gets - metaphorically - kicked in the bollocks.
The aftermath...obviously goes down the what-would-you-do-in-this-situation route...well, dear hearts, that kind of falls flat on its face...because the chances of this actually happening are...closer to zero than a snail's bum is to the ground.
Surely...there must be something - in this film - worthy of compliment?
No.

The(ir) Blurb...
Colin McCormack thinks he has it all - a great job, a steady stream of hot younger guys, and a best friend whose devotion he takes for granted. But when a charming and mercurial intern sweeps him off his feet, Colin sees a chance for something more: A family of his own. What he discovers instead is a shattering secret that may cost Colin everything - and everyone - he holds dear.
