Ideal Home

Erasmus Bumble (Steve Coogan) is an eccentric television chef, who travels around the world, offering his unique perspective on global cuisines. His director Paul (Paul Rudd) is also his long-time partner, although Erasmus keeps his personal affairs off screen in a futile attempt to hide his sexuality from viewers. After a long day of filming, the couple celebrates with a lavish dinner party for friends and the celebrations are interrupted by the arrival of a 10-year-old boy called Bill (Jack Gore). The streetwise tyke is Erasmus's estranged grandson and has nowhere to stay because his father has been arrested by the police. Erasmus and Paul become temporary guardians for the boy and have to curb their hedonistic ways to impress a social worker called Melissa (Alison Pill), who visits without warning. While Erasmus struggles to connect to Bill, Paul forges a close bond with the boy and kindles strong paternal instincts he never knew he possessed.
