Crowe, young but not green, is very affable in this movie, shy and sweet and tender, however it's raffish Jack Thompson as his papa who steals the scenes. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message, delivered with startling empathy, from a black woman to a multiracial America. The most surprising thing you can say about it is not the (discreet) man-on-man make-out scenes, but rather the fact it's Russell Crowe acting in them. The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together Heather McGhee 4.64 14,875 ratings2,283 reviews Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Best Nonfiction (2021) Heather McGhee's specialty is the American economy-and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. Just the opposite: the film is so good-hearted that it borders on bland.

It's based on a play, with the two leads occasionally speaking into the camera-yet this is an idea that isn't intrusive or unpleasant. The Sum of Us is a full-length comedy by David Stevens. And that's a nice change of pace, although it's not exactly invigorating for the picture! Young gay Australian plumber lives with his widower dad they both want a serious commitment with a special someone, and both find the path to romance rather rocky, but dad is fully committed to seeing that his 'poof' son finds a partner who won't break his heart. About the Play: Winner of the 1991 Outer Critics Circle Award for the Outstanding Off-Broadway Play. The approach taken to this gay-themed light-drama is so low-keyed and matter-of-fact, it makes the whole idea of homosexuality seem rather staid.
