Hilarious, raunchy and touching Australian comedy/drama boasts excellent performances from Russell Crowe and Jack Thompson, as a gay son and heterosexual father who are each trying to find steady companions, while offering emotional support to the other. Based on David Stevens play, the transition to film is beautifully executed. Editor's Choice. (R. Pitman)[Blu-ray/DVD Review—May 31, 2016—Olive, 100 min., R, DVD: $24.95, Blu-ray: $29.95—Making its latest appearance on DVD and debut on Blu-ray, 1994's The Sum of Us features a fine transfer and a DTS-HD 2.0 soundtrack, but no extras beyond a trailer. Bottom line: a winning early Crowe film makes a welcome debut on Blu-ray.]
