For Sam and Eric, keeping the nature of their relationship a private matter proves to be a conundrum of hysterical proportion when Scot moves in after the death of his mother. Eric (Tom Cavanagh), a former hockey star and sportscaster who hates kids, is mortified by Scot, who loves stickers, knitting, make-up, Broadway musicals, and anything pink. In his attempts to help Scot become more masculine, Eric becomes increasingly comfortable with his own identity and realizes he cares for Scot a great deal.
This 2007 film is almost as cute as Noah Bernett, who plays Scot, and does so marvelously. This movie speaks to the uniqueness of children, and how the loving heart of a child can transform lives. I found it to be funny and heart warming. Society frequently denies and underestimates that gay couples can be good parents, a notion which this movie dispels. Though Scot never admits that he is gay, this film raises questions about children who realize their sexuality at an early age, and the ways in which adutls care for and nuture them.
If you want to laugh, maybe cry, rejoice, and identify with people, then watch this movie. Scot has a profound affect on everyone in the film. Watching it made me wish that someone would die and leave me a kid...But seriously, watch and enjoy this film. It's delightful, and maybe Scot will affect you too.
Happy Endings!
