Promos didn't give it justice. I thought to myself, here's another goofy comedy with stereotypical gay characters, and some annoying kid. Boy was I wrong. It thankfully has more layers than that, and stands in the good indie flick category. Which is what I prefer. It helped making the script more tangible. There's also drama, but it's never tacky. I loved that little trio, they had such an interesting dynamic. So did the actors, who did a terrific job portraying them. And the supporting roles, were perfect for that. I was glad to see Kate Walsh make a cameo, and quickly understood why her character wasn't in more scenes. That wasn't the point. The point was to depict a couple in crisis, faced with a life changing event, in the most realistic and compelling manner. And I say, mission accomplished. Ideal Home, was everything you'd expect of a good comedy of manners, and a movie in general. And despite the « woke » subject, it was never preachy and had heart. Nice pick.
