I watch many gay themed movies, and to be honest I was never too impressed with what Australia has to offer in that field (compare to say, Brazil, France or French-Canada). But this film is different.

The subject matter is - surprisingly - a post-gay marriage dilemma, which involves adopting and raising kids as a gay couple.

In some countries - such as Spain, Canada, USA & Israel in particular - gay adoption or surrogacy is not a new topic. However, in Australia it is, I feel, it is still a 'hot potato' issue, especially after watching this important film.

I have to note that the actors in this film are very well casted. It's unusual to see two very attractive, mascular, straight acting guys playing a gay couple. They were very well placed and it helped the movie a great deal to bring this topic forward. (note - I admit I did not expect such intensive and convincing intimate scenes - it was very refreshing and honest, certainly from an Australian film).

I would highly recommend viewing this film as it is relevant and very well executed.

Australian gay drama about a hunky, good looking, straight acting, successful gay couple who desperately want a child. The two leads are very good actors and totally convincing as a non-stereotypical gay couple. Lots of drama and uncomfortable scenes unfold after they get involved with a very troubled pregnant woman who doesn't want her child. The ending makes a political statement about the legality of gays adopting. High production values and very believable acting. At times, it was almost too real. Likeable characters except....please STOP the smoking. It's unhealthy and low class!!!! It's rare that gay characters are portrayed as non-smokers.

This film is a first class attempt at a dramatic story involving two men wanting to create a family. One enthusiastic the other very unsure about this idea. And is that situation so very different from the common place male/female story? No - it is not.

Due to social/political/religious indoctrination of "society" our two main characters are forced to take a dangerous path to accomplish their goal. The true message within this film is the oppression of social convention when two people of the same sex have the dedication and means to adopt a child and are rejected.

This film is good - not great - but worthy of anyone's time to gain an insight into a major part of our society and what they can offer but are rejected because they don't fit the social norms prescribed by the culturally religious dictates of society.
