Ageless hunk Paul Rudd (Clueless) and Steve Coogan (Philomena) star as an older gay couple who suddenly inherit a child. The child belongs to Coogans a.k.a Erasmus son played by sexy Jake McDorman (Greek) after being arrested. They live an R rated lifestyle but it's hilarious to watch them curb their ways and form a bond. It's not a wholly original concept but it's never been explored in this context. And that's definitely a plus because it's nice to see films of this context being explored with an lgbtq couple. It's hilarious, genuine and heartfelt. Rudd and Coogan are magic and it's all overly entertaining.

Plot summary
Steve Coogan and Paul Rudd star as Erasmus and Paul, a bickering gay couple whose life is turned inside-out when a 10-year old boy shows up at their door claiming to be Erasmus' grandson. Neither Paul nor Erasmus is ready to give up their extravagant lifestyle to be parents, but maybe this young boy has a thing or two to teach them about the value of family.

no love
Erasmus (Steve Coogan) is a gay movie star and his lover Paul (Paul Rudd) is looking to leave their relationship. Suddenly, a young boy shows up claiming to be Erasmus' grandson. His estranged son Beau is in jail and the boy is running from Child Protective Services.
The basic problem with this is the central relationship from the very beginning. They don't even like each other. Erasmus is clueless and Paul is bitter. So it's up to a ten year boy to save the relationship. I don't even like this boy. I don't like anybody in this movie and it takes a long time before they slowly try to pull me back. I do like the actors and that keeps me from getting annoyed by these characters. Nevertheless, it's hard to find them appealing enough for me to care. As a final kick in the can, the closing credits has many gay couples with kids as if this is a drama about the fight for gay adoption. Maybe I had a grumpy day but I don't find any of this funny despite loving Coogan and Rudd as comedic actors.
Taco Bell
When dad (Jake McDorman) goes to jail, his son, you can call me Bill (Jack Gore ) winds up in the custody of his estranged grandfather Erasmus (Steve Coogan) and his boyfriend Paul Rudd. Bill is generally quiet. The two men grow into fatherhood and develop a love for the child.
The film is a comedy and had its moments. Too much humor relied on vulgarities and the fact the men are gay.
