剧情介绍
Seth grew up in Texas with a sister and a brother as part of a close, conservative religious family. Upon reaching adulthood he moved to Chicago to meet up with William whom he’d formed a relationship with after meeting online. After Seth’s gruff father dies, he decides it’s now safe to merge his two worlds and bring William home to meet the rest of his family, which by now includes various nieces and nephews. Approaching the front door, Seth admits to William that he hadn’t got around to telling his family that William would be coming. For all they know he’s single and waiting for the right girl to come along.
What follows is right up there with one of the most awkward family dinners ever, as Seth’s Minister brother Thomas struggles to accept his news, Thomas’s wife tries in vain to smooth things over, and his sister Sharon’s husband becomes irrationally terrified that William will make a move on him. With subtle and nuanced performances by the ensemble cast, a good dash of humour and some pathos thrown in, An Ordinary Family reminds us that family bonds can be complex and powerful and that there is really no such thing as an ordinary family.

不平凡,不喜剧,侧面有点抨击教会

普普通通一个家庭,故事讲得很真诚:有人接受不了两个男人间的爱情;有人接受不了瘦人和胖人之间的浪漫;有人接受不了神职人员的教条和死板。很多人标榜自己很开放,但同时又纠结自己坚持的底线会不会随之降低。其实有时候开放很简单,不用你非得去理解什么,只要别总拿自己的底线去要求别人就行了。
