CGiii Comment
Does Stockard Channing ever refuse a role? Does she ever age?
Written and directed by women - and obviously, one of them had a gay husband - nothing like sticking the knife in and twisting it.
There are many flaws, namely...coming out to your son in a boat in the middle of a lake is really quite ridiculous - and improbable...and dangerous.
All the performances are admirable...but, the depiction of the gay husband is tainted by the brush strokes of women who know nothing about the subject.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Jack, in full puberty, not only has to deal with his parents' divorce, but also feels his world is falling apart when his dad tells him he is living with a man. He slowly comes to terms with his own feelings when the girl he has a crush on turn out to have a gay dad as well and his best friend's parents end up not having the perfect marriage Jack thought they had.
