However, after finding and being rejected by the mother who gave him up as a baby, Steven leaves his family to be his true, flamboyantly gay self. He moves to Miami, finds a boyfriend (Rodrigo Santoro) and becomes a conman to pay for his lavish lifestyle. But Steven is sent to prison, were he meets and falls in love with Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).

ReplyDeleteDoes it add anything to the persona of MacGregor? If so, what? Is it a typical role for him?
