They are indeed. I love the way, near the beginning of the movie, their son is just eager to have them go back home - and then at the end he realizes how much he'll miss them.
a pity that there's also some bad acting
Yeah, it's a little uneven.... not really enough to bother me, but I could see that.
I don't really buy the chemistry between the gay couple.
I though the problem there was that the American-born boyfriend was just a little too perfect.
It makes me wonder if the father is the protagonist of the film, not the son.
Yes... he seems to have such depth, which the son doesn't show.
No, it doesn't seem dated at all. I found that remarkable. Marriage laws may have changed in a lot of places, but parents and offspring haven't.
