Daddy movie gay
6/10
Accomplished and Engaging Lgbtq+ themed, indie drama.
Colin is one of those gay guys who seems to have it all – great profession, loads of coins and he gets all the little men he wants. His best mate, Stew, lives next door and is the polar antonym but they own been inseparable since college. Then one day an intern starts work at Colin's office.
What first starts out as an overly keen employee soon becomes something much more intense, but when something is too good to be true.... well you know how it goes.
Now this is from TLA and yet is one of theirs that raises the prevent. It is skillfully made, acted. Scripted, filmed and everything else. The story is believable and engaging and the twist I never saw coming. It is also an indie and stars Gerald McCulloch as Colin who also directed this, he is a seasoned actor and the calibre shone through, but Jamie Cepero as Thaddeus was brilliant too and all the part players never permit the side down. This is a TLA release I am happy to recommend.

Dream Daddy
No spoilers - this movie probably won't be for everyone with that twist reveal, but taken for what it is, it's a well-acted independent movie. Gerald McCullouch is a dream daddy! He's a commanding presence and definitely swoon-worthy. The feature also plays a bit on the "non-sexual experience partner bit" in that the lead character's (Colin) relationship with his longtime best friend (Stewart) has taken on a marriage-like quality, complete with insecurity and all the sentimental ticks therein. When Colin starts dating a much younger man, things receive a little heated and it's interesting to witness how that plays out. Check it out and see what you think.

Not the Film You May Expect
I first saw Gerald McCullouch in a participate in NYC (sorry, I never got into CSI) and from then on, watched him in everything that I could. There is such an integrity in his acting and he has transferred that same sincerity into his feature film directorial debut. Many may think Daddy to be the typical gay-themed sex comedy (due to the title), but they would be sorely mistaken. Dan Via has adapted his complex stage play

MoreFrankly, the film wasn’t really worth your time except for the twist lead to I didn’t see that coming at all. There’s a slight hint but I ignored it. It’s ridiculously fucked up, I would have just gotten vasectomy and gone.
Worth it for a few laughs. Take a shot every time the Pittsburgh landscape shows up or the daddy character says "babe".
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
You think it's a film about an older man and a younger man falling in admire , and then it turns out the son had found his biological father and started having sex with him. Of course. And the son was played by Ellis from Smash and, truly, this film could've used Uma Thurman being poisoned by smoothie.
Creepy vanity project. I can handle the incest but a
A Deep Dive into Themes of Love, Aging, and Identity
The film sets up Colin and Stew as opposites in many ways—Colin is the extroverted, prosperous media figure, while Stew is more introspective. This friendship brings a stable rhythm to Colin’s being, grounding him even as he pursues younger men like T. Stew’s role provides not only comic relief but also a moral anchor, challenging Colin’s decisions and pushing him to confront his choices.
The introduction of T, who harbors both admiration and deeper unresolved issues, shifts the narrative towards a darker, introspective exploration of power, vulnerability, and the need for validation. The generational gap between Colin and T is not just about age; it represents two diverse LGBTQ experiences and outlooks. This relationship, complicated by secrets and Colin’s reluctance to face his retain insecurities, acts as the film’s emotional core.
“Daddy” poignantly raises questions about self-identity and family within the LGBTQ community. T’s complicated past and longing for acceptance mirror Colin’s fears of being left behind as he ages. Their connection brings to the surface fears around self-
