Young Leyva has a smile that lights up the screen, but the film makes the mistake of depicting several of the characters as though they were villains from some lesser movie. That the film overcomes this approach is testament to its essential spirit.

The growing community of gay parents deserves a better reflection of their struggles than a kitschy "Kramer vs. Kramer."

Cumming is wonderful, and you know something? Trying a little understanding sure doesn't hurt.

Any Day Now is a movie of good intentions and bad wigs, warm-hearted but slightly oversimplified.
June 27, 2014
A movie that embraces melodrama and is elevated by its willingness to do that.

Too much of "Any Day Now" founders in cliche and predictable table-turning and point-scoring instead of building a set of complicated characters at odds with a biased system.

Switches between a few primary modes -- agenda-mentary, romance, courtroom drama, tearjerker -- without engaging very convincingly in any of them.

As a weepy and capitalised Important Tale, the film is very good and some moments stir up emotion, but it isn't the film it should be, failing to hit the heights it is so earnestly aiming for.

It's a sombre film, heartfelt and moving, a reminder that the weakest and most vulnerable in our society often pay the heaviest price for other people's narrow minded, biased and uninformed, inhumane world view

Gets its point across, and its sad drama. And it spotlights a marvelous performance by Alan Cumming.

Set in the 1970s, this drama about custody rights and gay relationships has noble intentions and some fine performances, but loses its way with melodrama and an overripe sound track.

Generally abysmal.
