The new film â Together Together â has a great premise: A single, straight man wants to be a father and decides to hire a surrogate to help. Itâs fertile territory that has been fairly unexplored in popular art and brings with it a host of built in dramatic and comedic opportunities, especially with someone like Ed Helms leading the cast.
Writer-director Nicole Beckwith (âStockholm, Pennsylvaniaâ) instead chooses to focus on the relationship between Helmsâ character Matt and his surrogate, Anna (Patti Harrison) and it becomes just another semi-quirky, frustratingly surface exploration of two lonely headcases finding comfort in one another. In some ways, itâs a quintessential Sundance film. The baby and the pregnancy become just a screenwriterâs excuse to put these two together. Itâs too bad because Helms shows promise stretching in a more dramatic role and Harrison herself is a captivating presence.
