Movie #776 ........................."Any Day Now"

Movie #776 "Any Day Now" --- if you are an Alan Cumming fan, wow, you have to see this movie. It shows off his talent of singing, acting, the whole ball of wax. He plays a drag queen who falls in love with Garret Dillahunt (from "Raising Hope" which is another reason I wanted to see this) and they both, in turn, "fall in love" with the down syndrome kid next door who keeps being left outside his mom's door as she snorts cocaine. If the solution is obvious enough to you , that the guys should be able to adopt this kid, even after the mother signs away her rights, then you will be angered to no end as you see the court system not allow this due to their homosexuality. And the ending will pull your heart out -- well, it did to me. It's a tough movie to watch in many ways, one esp. is that Marco doesn't talk much or use his face or anything (I don't think he is acting and he does have Down syndrome) but he is so powerful in his quietness. And Cumming is soooooo expressive and wears his heart on his sleeve and is so angry, that it'll make you angry, too, I bet! Any Day Now 2012 R 97 minutes I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Rudy and Paul take in their neighbor's teenage son Marco, who has Down syndrome, when his neglectful mother throws him out of her apartment. Their attempt to legally adopt Marco sparks a court battle over gay rights in this powerful true story.
