A window cleaner looking like James Norton could have taken Michael to school and all the young teachers would have come out, and fought their way past the single mums. Problem solved!
There is a strange disconnect with real life in this for all it purports to reflect it. The sparse dialogue doesn't help. The little boy is sweet, fortunately.
A smattering of attempted philosophy doesn't work either.
The actors try and Norton rises above it all but in the end it's the miserable screenplay that lets it down until the 'happy' ending (know thy place!)
