    Storyline

    Edit
    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.

      In the very beginning of the film Erasmus talking to 'producer' Paul as the camera pans back and forth; in one in back of Paul he wears his sunglasses, but not in the rest of the shots.
    • Quotes

      Paul: You know that if you were dying... I would cut the heart out of my chest for you. I would die so that you would live. That's how much I love you. That's how much I worship you. And I think that you actually know. You know that. And it doesn't matter to you.

      Erasmus: It does matter to me.

      Paul: It doesn't matter. And I can't stand it anymore.
