CGiii Comment

There's the short version and the longer version - watch the shorter!

It's well-filmed, production values are pretty good...but, the idea: Men getting pregnant!!!

It's a bit on the silly side...and, all the texting...some would call it lazy direction!


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Adrian, a young gay guy living in Taipei, falls in love with West, but West is not interested in a real relationship. Adrian, to see him again, begins to pretend that he is pregnant with West's baby. West is startled by Adrian's craziness and they start playing this game until Adrian discovers... He is pregnant for real!
