'Dear Dad': What if your dad is gay? ; Rating: ***1/2

"Well, at least he's straight," says the wife, not unreasonably. "Ouch," says our hero, now happily out of the closet, though still single and a devoted father. Though this is a film about painful revelations, "Dear Dad" is not a sad film. It doesn't celebrate human frailty. But it tells us it's okay to be what we are, who we are and never mind why we are what we are.
