Themes of acceptance and what it means to be a parent are explored wih Jemaine's character getting over his feelings for his ex wife and how he grows as a parent from start to finish.
Jemaine delivers a strong quirky Everyman in the same way we have come to expect and love. Oddly I could have easily seen Jason Bateman in the same role and done equally as good.
The ex wife played by Stephanie Allynne has nuances that are endearing and also upsetting. You really get the feeling she is lost in her life.
Though both of the character are bound by their twin girls, whom they clearly love, they are destined to never be more that parents together.
The subplot of the film is also about Jemaine's character possibly finding love with the character played by Regina Hall. We never get clear closure on this plot but the audience is left with the expectation that the two of them end up together.
The audience was very energetic at the end and stayed for the Q&A with the director and Jemaine.
I gave this one 14 Tie Fighters out of 10.
