We watched this on DVD and from the box cover it looked like a simple and intriguing story about two children contacting their biological sperm donor father. We anticipated that the movie would explore in an amusing way the effects that this would have on the lesbian couple's alternative family. Right?
Wrong!!What we got instead was flashes of hardcore gay porn, soft core lesbian porn and straight porn together with foul language and other random poor taste anecdotes. The butch Nic is supposed to be a medical professional but has a mouth on her like a sewer (great example for the kids) and seems to require the aforementioned gay porn in order to get off with her partner. She is also a nasty jealous control freak determined to metaphorically 'castrate' Paul (the sperm donor) for daring to try and become involved with the kids after they seek him out in the first instance.
Her partner, Jules, is a closet nymphomaniac and goes weak knees at the sight of the donor Paul's ' penis. Jules is a cruel bitch who does not hesitate to instantly dismiss her hard working Mexican gardener when he seems amused at her clandestine boinking of the donor Paul. Paul is appallingly treated by all after showing nothing but understanding, helpfulness and empathy for all.
Other than that the film fails to develop any real plot and both brother Laser (where did that come from), and sister Joni's character sub-plots and relationships fail to go anywhere, with characters dropping in and out of frame randomly. The same happens with Paul's other relationships and friendships.
At the end of this film I had no idea what the director was trying to achieve and could only see it as anti-heterosexual male propaganda. A truly awful film and a waste of a lot of good acting talent.
