For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
当别人开始谈论离婚的时候，我们还在纠结能不能恋爱。透过年轻儿子的视角，讲述一个同志家庭的分崩离析、痛并快乐着的成长历程。每一个鲜活生命的诞生，都有无数人发生千丝万缕的交集，世界上没有完美的婚姻，但可以有完美的离婚。
卧槽，这同性男男和儿子正是我一直想的故事设定，就是我想的是悲剧路线
歇斯底里的争吵背后其实是扯不断理还乱的带着爱的千丝万缕的思绪。
3.5星，前面尬得我发慌（当然导演肯定是故意的），欢笑之余忍不住叹一口气，集尴尬与狗血为一体的LGBT喜剧，挺不错的，就是一牵扯到代孕问题我就不太敢深究......
3.5星。多出来的0.5是本片表达的社会意义。大多数婚姻的维系需要一个孩子，大多数同性家庭不会有孩子。经由抚育孩子所凝结的家庭纽带不适用于大多数同性家庭。这也意味着，同性伴侣之间需要建立一种强有力的联接（比如共同的理想志趣或者强有力的互相理解等）。或者如福柯所说，突破异性恋思维的以友情为纽带的新型人际关系。
太扯把子了。虽然很温馨也很扯淡。救命啊，求里昂心理阴影面积啊。
没看前以为是部纪录片，看了几分钟后：这也太电影了吧？哈哈哈哈哈。
刻板印象和成见 总是不可避免（真·drama）
抓马还是得看意呆利，两代人的家庭喜剧真是精彩，性取向依旧是要处理的问题，但更重要的是人与人之间的关系，怎么说呢，算是一顿食之无味，弃之可惜的大餐吧。
网飞，剧情不错的，个人觉得很超前了。我们任重而道远！
？这片子是不是定了个合家欢的调子就硬要往喜剧上凑啊，无论是两爹闹离婚还是结尾悬念揭晓我都没法看出来这么严肃的事哪里能笑出来
还是欣赏庄严肃穆的仪式感，以及戏剧和摄影的确是一门艺术。

It’s the things that I’m bestowed with that shape me gradually.
全程抓马，笑点十足。无论是剧情还是演员的演技都值得5星，
抓马情感大乱炖，所有的爱与恨交织在几代人之间，最后如星尘一般理不清但看的楚
1) 伴随reverie旋律升起的太阳下三个完全不同的苏醒状态，2)为爱发疯牺牲的红酒&Prada西装在外人看来心疼不已，3）NBT死忠听到impossible响起整个人DNA动了，4）攀岩登山相关的男主成长线好喜欢，5）四个高中生之间互相关爱彼此，互相扶持着成长太真挚，6）无论是invisible thread还是中译名都好妙，抛开血缘关系都是这千丝万缕的关系和感情把所谓陌生人联结在一起。
我看的是109分钟的版本，但是词条显示90分钟，是结局不一样嘛？这样的片不至于吧= =
爱建立在信任与理解之上，血缘并不能成为其中的阻碍。故事独特，轻松带着喜剧桥段，有自我认知，也有人生和解，千丝万缕，十分美好。
emmm，演得挺差…换了个套的意式+美式抓马
