A bickering gay couple must now deal with the unexpected task of raising a ten-year-old boy. 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.
Critics Reviews:
- “Funnier would have been better, but the warm inclusiveness makes its point.” – Trevor Johnston (Time Out)
- ""Ideal Home" is genuinely funny, and the poignant and pithy script is aided by the chemistry between its stars, who are equally adept with comedic punch lines as they are with dramatic gut punches." – Teo Bugbee(New York Times)
- “Ideal Home offers a twist on the traditional family dramedy that leans slightly more towards the comedy side of things. It's ideal viewing if you're after a breezy, entertaining watch.” – Karl Puschmann (New Zealand Herald)
- “It's well acted and laugh-out-loud funny at times but has its longueurs too.” – Matthew Bond (The Mail on Sunday, UK)
