C-

Considering how uunusal the film's family setting is--a boy growing up with gay dad and lesbian mother--and talent caliber (George C. Scott and Kathy Bates), Angus is a particularly disappointing film due to pedestrian writing and straight direction.

A plodding, teen cookie-cutter "nerds are people too" story. Hamfisted and dull.
