EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

toddcha Great acting, probably it's Alan Cunning's best performance ever. Simple and straightforward with no other exaggeration words or actions makes the acting/love more pure between the gay parents in a gay family. Don't think this move cliché. It's not another gay adaption issue with the setting in '70s. On the contrary, it gives us, at least me, a more clear picture/argument that why gay parents can't adopt a child-- if gay parents are really the source of bad influence to children, why we still have so much violence, crime and hatred in a world whose members are definitely mostly straight people. And those criminals behind the bar are raised by straight people too. It's just nothing but the power exchange/dominance, which is especially clear in the court defense. Back to the movie. I do think that the kid, Marco, should play a bigger role, which may increase the judges' injustice and bias. I appreciate Paul's fighting in the court and caring in daily life, but need more explicit affection towards Marco. and the way it describe the kid's life may ease the tension ( say, it should raise the tension between pro-gay adoption and con-gay adoption). But it still depends on how wise the audience are if their attitude towards gay adoption would change because of this movie. The last point is the soundtrack. It's amazing. even better than the original. Must have if you have chance.

paddynoble This was an excellent movie, I was shocked at the end but then I wasn't surprised given that in the 70s everything wasn't in the favor of two gay men. I'm glad that that everyone who prevented Marco from going back to the two men, in the court system received a letter illustrating the outcome.There was a lot in this movie to like but the court scenario where Garett Dillahunt (Rudy's partner) stressed the obvious that nobody wanted Marco being a down syndrome child, and yet these two men loved him, and were his only safety net.I recommend this movie. Also some interesting actors show up too, many A listing Actors.

mdg276 If I could give this movie 100 stars I would. I am a straight white female, was bored on a Saturday night, looking thru the Netflix. Saw it, put it in my queue. Watched a movie, was bored so I clicked PLAY on "Any Day Now". Needless to say I watched it 3x Saturday night, back to back. Then again Sunday afternoon. It is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I felt the "LOVE" some have talked about in other reviews. I cried again. And asked "WHY?" over and over. It is truly a shame there are so many closed minded people who will not see this movie. Like others have said, this movie STAYS with you. I too sat thru the credits each time I've watched it, shaking my head. And amazed at Alan Cummings acting in it. Now I want to seek out other movies he is in, and may start watching "The Good Wife". This movie is amazing. That is the only word I keep coming back to. I will be buying this on DVD or blue ray. This movie is a keeper for your library. PLEASE give it a chance and let it change your life like it did mine.

kwright-28 I wanted to watch this movie because Alan Cumming has a star turn and it sounded interesting. How good is the movie? It's excellent and wonderfully realistic. Story goes, Cumming is rather down and out but balks at social services taking custody of a prostitute's disabled child. How the story winds around the relationship Cumming's character has with his lover and the child is the hook here. Some of the characters seem stuck on or added for effect, but once again, this is Cumming's movie. This is not to say that the other actors aren't good or effective, but Cumming outshines them. The young man at the center of the story is limited. His character is bound by his disability. So, watch the movie because it's very good and if you haven't seen Alan Cumming in a unique role, this is your chance.
