This film was done much better in a little French gem released many years ago called Ma Vie en Rose. Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg Wheeler (Jim Parsons) play the parents of a son Jake who likes to wear dresses. He's a psychiatrist (ha!) she's a part time lawyer. They send Jake to a kindergarten run by Judy (Octavia Spencer) who appears to be BFF with Alex but this isn't clearly established. All of this results in eternal conflict everywhere. No foundations are established for any of the relationships and they all seem hostile. Jake is rarely seen or heard from apart from the swishing of his tulle skirts and reports only of his bad behaviour. It's a popular topic at the moment and this film is obviously cashing in on this and failing on every level. And the ending. Please. But of course.
