Julianne Moore and Annette Bening play a lesbian couple who conceive two children with the aid of an anonymous sperm donor. The kids reach their teens and feel the need to meet the donor. mark Ruffalo plays the father/donor and once he walks into this family, everything re-arranges. ”The Kids are All Right” portrays the hip California life style in all its glory and lampoons it in the process. I especially like that this story constantly surprises—you think “they won’t go there”—and then they do. I love the message, at least the message I got: that families—no matter how hip—must deal with the squarest problems. Does it deliver what it promises? A very sly and surprising comedy.
Is it entertaining? Very.
Is it worth the price of admission? Very much.
