Ideal Home benefits from the chemistry between a well-chosen cast, whose work helps tip the scales against the script's inconsistent -- and occasionally retrograde -- humor.

Maybe it's all a meta joke? Or an ironic bad-taste prank? Let's hope so. Jul 6, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Ideal Home may not startle us with its plot twists but it's a good deal fresher and more irreverent than most family fables - and it never gets too preachy either. Jul 5, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Plotted this thinly, and played this unevenly, it can't get to the finish line with good intentions alone. Jul 5, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Andrew Fleming wrote and directed, like a man who has heard of the gay freedom revolution but is still stuck mentally in the age of queenery and innuendo garnished with lip-service liberalism. Jul 4, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would. Very funny and equally frustrating, mostly because of Coogan's character. Dec 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Families come in an endless assortment. But it's a safe bet that few of them are as ill-assorted at first as flamboyant TV chef Erasmus, his panic attack-prone partner, Paul, and the pugnacious 10-year-old grandson Erasmus didn't know he had. Jul 6, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

May not be groundbreaking queer cinema but it's a meaningful and genuinely hilarious movie-going experience that caters to a wide audience despite its colourful mentality. May 4, 2019 | Full Review…

Like eating an old piece of candy. It tastes sweet but sometimes you can't help feeling its outdatedness. Feb 12, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
