I'll watch anything that Rudd stars in. But the frequent crap he's usually starring in is really testing my patience.

My tween self was in love with 90s Paul Rudd, I even owned his Halloween movie and a Reese Witherspoon college comedy on VHS. He was my dream man. But I haven’t been interested in anything he has made for years.

I like Steve Coogan though. The Trip series is worthwhile. So I will see this.

omg Paul Rudd is fucking gorgeous in this movie. HOT!

Why is the kid in the promo saying those are his "2 dads".

This ain't a dad movie, it's a grandfather movie.

Coogan plays the kid's grandfather and Rudd plays the grandfather's younger partner.

I wish Rudd was costarring with a man someone gay would actually fuck. It's asexual with that raisin-faced Brit making pouty faces.

by Anonymousreply 5May 10, 2018 10:10 PM

why did they make Rudd so hot and Coogan so fem and unattractive?

To neuter the implied sexuality of gay characters so it will pass in Flyoverville cinemas.

Great comedians.

This has a much better chance of being good than that Greg Berlanti horse crap.

And pay no mind to r9 and other people who judge movies before they've seen them.

It's brain damage they get from eating too many dog hemorrhoids.

Because Coogan [italic]is[/italic] a bit fem, R6. Not all, but many Brits (especially actors, even straight ones) have purses falling out of their mouths.

Coogan isn't simply acting flamboyantly gay (for his fem partner role). He's acting (or being) flamboyantly British too. So in a way, it's double-stereotyping. Well done, Hollywood: 2 birds with 1 stone.

It would have been magic to have Jake McDorman be Paul Rudd's hubby instead of the loser bio-dad in prison.

Total sex fuck dudes.

You're right R5. That raisin-faced Brit is a pain.

He's a leader of the two-faced English Luvvie sanctimonious SJWs who demand Britain import thousands of medieval Syrians but wouldn't have one in his expensive house.

(though I admit he did appear in the movie 'Philomena' which was well-directed by [the gay-seeming] Stephen Frears.)

Does Paul get fucked in the movie?

Paul looks good surprisingly. Don't know the old gross british thing. Looks stupid though. Not interested.

Paul getting hotter as he gets older. Two straight actors playing gay? Again?

It seems the director is gay and has been trying to get thing produced for 10 years.

One gay guy on IMDB says 'The entire focus is on a middle aged gay couple constantly snipe at each other. ... There's no chemistry, no attraction and no reason to pull for these two as they just read off their lines and bore the audience to death.

The petty back biting and their whole miserable relationship gets old very, very early on and by the time something really important does present itself, you just want everyone on screen to drop dead so you can leave.'

R20 That Brit guy is pompous and ugly.

But Paul Rudd's career seems to be no more than the cute passive side-kick.

That movie does look cute. Will check it out when it comes out.

I LOVE Steve Coogan... just looking at him makes me laugh. I don't know why Alan Partridge never caught on in America. I can't wait for the new series to come out in February!

R24 Partridge is only relevant in crisis-ridden England.

The English are sympathetic to whiners; Americans aren't.

Let me guess, they come to love the kid and in the end fight to keep him.

Some speechifying in the end and he gets to stay.

The End

It looks like a bad film. Like most films these days...even the ones that are supposed to be quirky and off-beat. Couldn't they have written in Diane Keaton as the boy's absent mother?

There’s probably a cute scene where the 3 of them dance and lip sync to an ABBA song.

Unrealistic couple, but maybe its a funny movie.

It's the second time Rudd has played gay, after Object of My Affection (he was SO adorable in that... I wanted to marry him)

Has he played gay any other times?

Cliche-ridden and Coogan is so gross, nobody would ever want to fuck him. The kid's actually pretty charmless, too. Not a real laugh in the whole movie. Don't waste your time.

He's gorgeous in this movie (which I won't be seeing) wearing a grandfather beard.

R7 there’s a scene where Paul Rudd is pretty vigorously fucking Coogan, so don’t think they are neutering the sexuality too much.

by Anonymousreply 46January 13, 2019 7:01 AM

Rudd is only 3.5 years younger than Coogan, so they could be playing contemporaries and not May December like a previous poster implied.

by Anonymousreply 47January 13, 2019 7:24 AM

The film is atrocious. Not funny and frankly, kind of offensive if you care about G&L representation.

I will never understand the weird DL minority that champions short, aging, doughy, and hopelessly straight Paul Rudd, but to each his own.

by Anonymousreply 48January 13, 2019 7:41 AM

Would they get a white man to play Malcolm X? No, so they should not have straight men play gay.

I didn't even know this was released, and now it's streaming...

by Anonymousreply 50January 13, 2019 8:28 AM

The Paul Rudd character appears a walking stereotype (of the bitchy GWM) in the trailer, which puts me off... even though I am amongst the millions of men who lust after Paul himself. (Additionally, I don't like seeing him with the beard.)

Coogan does Coogan; the gayness is hardly a change from his usual British campiness.

DECISION: I'll pass on this one.

The only reason to watch that movie is this clip. That's it, really.
