Alfred Molina & John Lithgow make the perfect couple
27 September 2014
The movie was very subtle which makes the ending very lackluster.

Two older jets who have been in a relationship for thirty nine years just got legally married, which causes George, played by Molina to loose his job at a Catholic private school. They loose their apartment because of this and are force to lean on their family for support. The movie feels very personal. I wouldn't be surprise if it mimics a part of the filmmaker's life in some fashion.

Ben, played by Lithgow, moves in with his nephew and his family, and the conflict that follows was very typical of sitcoms. While George had to take some friends couch in a sub story you can relate to but I did not care about with the exception of how it made George feel to be separated from his lover and the emotion that was unleashed when the two reunited

Lithgow's performance in the movie was what made it worth seeing. His interaction with his family as well as the chemistry between him and Molina is what did it for me. This made it a very touching story for anyone and everyone.
