Angel/Bill, a child who lost his mother to a drug-induced accident, watches his widowed father get arrested for drug-trafficking and is left alone to search out and be taken in by the grandfather he never met – Erasmus (Steve Coogan), an eccentric cooking show host in a dysfunctional romantic relationship with his show’s producer, Paul (Paul Rudd).
The film tackles an often controversial topic of same-sex parenting – dissecting and normalizing it through hilarious adventures blended with dark comedy. The story also utilizes more traditional heart jerking moments of tragedy to illustrate and highlight how difference and diversity can unite instead of divide.
