  • Inspirational!

    New York Times

  • DADDY & PAPA brings honesty, humor and humanity to its examination of gay fatherhood ... a touching firsthand account of both the rewards and challenges of the experience.

    Variety

  • These men ... are eloquent about both the richness of family life and the stereotypes that they have to confront.

    The New Yorker

  • ... a smart and winning portrait of loving families that come together by choice and commitment, in spite of both legal and societal odds.
