Daddy (2015)

the audience applauded

A lot of fun.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I've watched this film multiple times and never get tired of it. The story is great and it is shot very well. It's highly original as there is a twist that I never saw coming and I know others share that experience. The film moves at steady pace and doesn't have any annoying inessential scenes like many other films have these days. Great performances by the lead actors. Gerald McCullouch & Dan Via in particular had great chemistry together on screen. The film had great dramatic as well as comedic moments giving the actors a chance to shine is both aspects. The score by Corey Tut was another great facet of the film. If you listen to the lyrics of the songs in the background, they correspond with what's happening on screen (certainly not always the case in other films). Recommended to all!

Gerald McCullouch directed and stars as Colin, an older professional gay man who hangs out with a platonic buddy named Stew, instigating an intimate relationship with a much-younger man, an intern at his office. This proves to be a sticking point in his close relationship with Stew, his neighbor and best friend since college, with jealousy rearing its head based on the simplistic notion that Stew isn't as attractive as Colin, can't get a date of his own and has deep-rooted feelings for his long-time pal. McCullouch toys with the clichés and stereotypes inherent in this scenario (the gays namedrop Madonna, go to the gym regularly, and hit the bars not for a thrilling night out but with the intent on finding sexual partners); however, having a gay protagonist who also likes sports isn't exactly groundbreaking, while the scenes of gay intimacy are merely hinted at. Gay love has been shown to better advantage as subplots in heterosexual-dominated films, which makes one wonder why McCulloch didn't (or wasn't allowed to) go all the way with his narrative. Playing it safe won't expand the boundaries of gay cinema--it never has. * from ****

This movie is a good waste of your time if your looking for a way to sit down with some popcorn and relax but grab some tissues because it can get sad. The story kept me tied to the movie screen want to know what would happen every second of every minute. The acting was so well done you wouldn't have thought this was a script you would have thought someone had had a camera filming the actors in their every day lives. 10/10 on acting 10/10 on script 10/10 on everything overall a great movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone straight, gay the works it tackles gay stereotypes about age and that's something i love great job guys.

When I started watching this film, I thought it was going to be about a well to do man who could get anybody he wanted, well that is partially true but there are some major twist and turns in the movie that are not suspected and it will keep you glued to your seat it is for both the romantic at heart an for the ones that feel they have been jaded by love.The main character is heartwarming and angry at the same time you feel all the emotions that come through the movie. You have to pay attention or you will feel like you have lost something translation but the fact of the matter is it shows you that you can adapt to anything life has to throw at you if you have the will power and the stamina. For this being the directors debut film he knew what he wanted and he went for it even with the taboo of life. Gerald McCullouch both stars in the movie and directs it and you can not do anything but show admiration for the man and the quality of his work.
