Alan Cumming is one of the most eccentric and talented character
actors in the business, and "Any Day Now" allows him to stretch his
acting muscles in a rare leading role.
Set in 1979
California, "Any Day Now" tells the story of Rudy Donatello , a gay
nightclub performer who enlists the help of his rich lawyer boyfriend
Paul(Garret Dillahunt) when his next-door neighbor, a mentally
handicapped teenager, is abandoned in Rudy's dive of an apartment
complex by his drug addled mother.
The kid, Marco,
is taken in by the two men, who give him hope for a better life. "What
do you eat for breakfast?" Rudy asks, to which Marcus answers,
"Doughnuts." The kid's not joking. Mom, in her infinite wisdom, has been
presenting her obese son with a daily serving of chocolate doughnuts,
the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.
