ANDREW FLEMG BASED GAY EDY IAL HOME ON HIS OWN LIFE

In this wearyg, horribly dated edy, Steve Coogan and Pl Rudd play Erasm and Pl, a bourgeois gay uple who are forced to parentg rol when Erasm’s Ta Bell-obssed, pre-teen grandson, Angel/Bill (Jack Gore), arriv unannounced at their chic mansn Santa Fe, New Mexi. Rudd is believable as a nrotic TV producer (wh hipster beard and glass), who’s the more rponsible of the pair, but Coogan’s narcissistic celebry chef Erasm Bumble (“like the gay Butch Cassidy, but not butch”) dials up the character’s mpns for cheap lghs, swanng around racon furs and suggtg the kid might enjoy “the Geia O’Keeffe Mm and a nice salad”, rather than ice cream and the ar. Every joke’s punchle is that the characters are gay, makg difficult to unrstand who exactly, 2018, the film hop to make a trailer for Ial Home.
