The Object of My Affection
A love story that could only happen between best friends.
Directed by Nicholas Hytner
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A warm, character-driven romantic comedy about unconventional love and the bonds that matter most, centered on a woman's choice to build a life with her gay best friend rather than her biological child's father.
A pregnant New York social worker begins to develop romantic feelings for her gay best friend, and decides she'd rather raise her child with him, much to the dismay of her overbearing boyfriend.
