In the late 1970s, when a mentally handicapped teenager is abandoned, a gay couple takes him in and becomes the family he's never had. But once the unconventional living arrangement is discovered by authorities, the men must fight the legal system to adopt the child.
Gets its point across, and its sad drama. And it spotlights a marvelous performance by Alan Cumming.

The growing community of gay parents deserves a better reflection of their struggles than a kitschy "Kramer vs. Kramer."

Too much of "Any Day Now" founders in cliche and predictable table-turning and point-scoring instead of building a set of complicated characters at odds with a biased system.
