Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Sum of Us (1995)

The tag line is "Not your typical father and son story" and that says it really well. Top-notch story of a man and his gay son who, simply and beautifully, love and accept each other. The lack of tension in their home feels unnatural to those who enter it. How incredibly sad that it's more accepted and expected that a lifestyle should ruin family love. Touching, wonderful film.
