The Hollywood disease is spreading.
Just like every honky's best friend is black; every homo couple is monogamous and wants to adopt a child from the Third world and live just like a suburban hetero couple etc.
Yet the behavior of the so called "husband" demonstrates his unsuitability to be any kind of father. The last thing a troubled child needs is attitude like his.
This more fairy tale nonsense.
"Just like every honky's best friend is black; every homo couple is monogamous and wants to adopt a child from the Third world and live just like a suburban hetero couple etc."
As a bisexual man hoping for a monogamous relationship with another man (resulting in marriage and a family), I find your comment ridiculous. What's "fairy tale" like about settling down?
Sorry, not all of us gays/bisexuals want to compulsively club and hook up, resulting in unfulfilling sex and possible venereal disease.
I think the movie meant to be slightly, just a tiny little bit unrealistic, but my biggest problem was with how easily Patrick actually adapts and how good a temper he has for a teenager who's been tumbling around from one place to another for the past ten years, I in fatc, think, the real Patrick would have been a massive criminal and impossible to deal with, based on my absolute ignorance on orphan children.
I don't think their relationship was portrayed as unrealistic, in fact, Sven struggles to be monogamus but it's not exclusive to the gays, as it is showed how the straight couples have that same problem, so no, I don't think this is an unrealistic portrayal of gay couples, in fact, I like it that it tries to portray both sides, the guy who aims for a standard straight family plan and his boyfriend, who has a cheating history and struggles to fit into his partner's vision.
I loved it.
It was silly and unrealistic because the "homophobic delinquent" turned out
to be neither. The movie sets up such a premise, then fails to follow through.
Patrik isn't much worse than the average teenage boy; he shows some anger and
rudeness at first to the couple when he finds himself stuck with the men for
a few days, and he swipes a bottle of whiskey that one of the adoptive parents
(who's a bad-tempered alcoholic himself) carelessly leaves out. But that's about
it; he quickly warms to his other "dad" and, in a coincidence found almost exclusively in clunky movie scripts, he turns out to be an expert gardener, who
can immediately solve his adoptive dad's hydrangea problems. Then he's helping
the whole neighborhood with their gardens, too, and teaching the local kiddies
skateboarding tips! And this is the kid who was labeled troubled and unadoptable?
Any parent would want him for a son; in fact, he's much nicer than the teenage
daughter of one of the couple.
And, after a decade of being in the foster care system with no luck in getting
adopted, as soon as it's worked out that he'll stay after all, he
gets adopted by another family? Yeah, that's likely.
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!
