Review of The Sum of Us (1994) by Hala Z — 13 Jun 2010
Who knew about this movie?...I sure didn't. I didn't even pay attention to it when I looked through his resume. All I bothered to watch was everything after Gladiator,which is not right.
I bumped into this movie while I was on Youtube checking a bunch of his interviews. I'm glad I did!! I never knew Russell Crowe had it in him to play a gay character..and a convincing one too. I do have to admit though, at first it was a bit difficult for me to watch him kiss a man, but that could be because i've only seen him play heterosexual characters in most of his movies. I mean do you blame me? Who would have guessed after seeing Gladiator!!
Anywho, It's not an extremely funny comedy but it is light hearted and sweet. Parts of it were pretty sad and heart breaking, especially all the trouble this family runs through with homosexuality issues.
It is a sweet old gem from the past..if you haven't seen it I say you should...unless you think you'll get a bit queezy watching Russell kissing another man! I got over it pretty quick.
