This mess pretends to be about race and our attitudes toward it; but nothing could be further from the truth! The real problem that arises if a clearly African child is born to Anglo parents is not about race, but rather about what appears to be clear evidence of marital unfaithfulness. But this film throws out a red herring purely to distract us from the real issue. Neither parent has any racist attitudes; neither would have any problem with loving and raising an African child as long as the explanation behind it were clear and morally appropriate. The entire crisis is one of apparent marital betrayal, which is a totally valid concern; not a case of latent racist tendencies, which this dishonestly contrived film disgracefully seeks to mislead us into believing.
Jamie Hector should be ashamed to be associated with this type of garbage! I have lost much of my respect for him, gained during his role as Jerry Edgar in Bosch!

Contrived and utterly dishonest!!!!
Stiff
A White couple have a Black baby and the husband is the only one questioning what's going on..Really?! We suppose to believe that a woman give birth to a baby that appearance is totally as an opposite race and she say, "Oh well, it doesn't matter to me?" It would have been a little believable if the mom wasn't pale White. And yet she kept saying she's Black. There's undercover racism but I guess it's not suppose to be noticeable. This movie could have been good but the writers failed big time. It should have been named, Failing Thomas. I have no words for the ending at all.
Ridiculous and farfetch
Great idea but completely missed the boat in setting up the story, missed an opportunity for a great story as mixed couples and children are more common. Should have done some genetics research before this, yes could be that white parents have black ancestors but there is no possible way for the baby to be this dark after generational mix.
