In The Family chronicles what happens when one member of a gay
couple (Joey, played by Patrick Wong, and Cody Hines, played by
Trevor St. John) dies while in the process of raising a young boy
named Chip Hines. Almost immediately, the surviving partner,
Joey, experiences discrimination because he is not a "family member"
related by blood to Cody or Chip. The movie is kind of long and some
parts could have been cut without losing much of the punch of the
story. Will Joey regain at least visitation rights to see Chip or
will he be forever banished by a restraining order taken out by
Cody's sister? Tune in and find out. Four stars.
