This past weekend I enjoyed watching the 1994 Australian film The Sum of Us, which tells the story of a comfortable relationship between widower Harry and his gay son Jeff and their individual searches for the right mate.

Years before he became a household name in Hollywood, Russell Crowe delivers a strong and sexy performance as the son, a plumber in Sydney, exuding extreme masculine magnetism and an emotional vulnerability.

If there is anything worse than a parent who disapproves of your sex life, it may be a parent who approves too much.

Jack Thompson plays the open-minded straight father, who is so eager to help his son find Mr. Right, he is actually a bit of an annoyance with his well-intended interference. This dad goes to gay bars with his son, makes sure the young man’s dates know the safe-sex rules, and brings home gay porno magazines and leaves them around the house. The apparent reason for this attitude is that his own mother, upon widowhood, embarked on a 40-year love affair with a woman.

The Sum of Us is a classic to be sure and an absolute must for your collection!
