Steve Coogan and Paul Rudd star as Erasmus and Paul, a prominent, affluent, 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. They take in the boy, with hilarious consequences. Neither Paul nor Erasmus seem ready to give up their extravagant lifestyles to be parents – or are they? This feel-good, light-hearted dramedy is a primer about the real meaning of family values.
