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

I never ever write a review or leave a feedback on a movie. But this movie was just so CUTE and Lovely. It made me laugh and story was great. This may not be your type of movie but i enjoyed it a lot.
All actors were great and entertaining in their roles. Starting was bit confusing but as time goes, all become perfect.
Just enjoy.
