Great film, great event! Lots of fun!!!
The opening night of Outfest was aided by this lighthearted movie and the afterparty afterwards. The only negative is that the pre-movie presentation started late and seemed to go on forever. The movie started about 9 so the afterparty started around 10:30.

When planning began in 1923 for the Orpheum Theatre as the fourth and final house operated by the Orpheum vaudeville circuit in Los Angeles, who could have foretold the memories this magnificent venue would harbor over the years.

Eric, played by Tom Cavanagh (“Ed”), lives for all things hockey. Now he’s managed to turn his stint as a Toronto Maple Leaf into a full-time gig as a TV sports commentator. His boyfriend Sam, played by Ben Shenkman (ANGELS IN AMERICA) is a corporate lawyer. They live a fairly closeted life on a tree-lined street in Toronto. When Sam announces that they’re to become temporary guardians of a recently orphaned, 11-year-old boy named Scot, their comfortable world falls through the ice. Scot is everything that Eric and Sam are not - he has a penchant for feather boas, rose hand cream, Christmas carols and all that glitters. In an effort to toughen him up, Eric enrolls Scot in Pee Wee Hockey - and gets roped into being assistant coach - a job that is more than he bargained for.
Expertly directed by Laurie Lynd, based on the award-winning book by Michael Downing, this poignant film wraps tough issues of parenthood, relationships and masculinity in a blanket of comedy that will make you laugh, cry and laugh some more.
