The Kids Are All Right (DVD)

The Kids Are All Right (2010) starring Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo. Same-sex parents Nic (Bening) and Jules (Moore) have two children that were conceived by a sperm donor; and the children, Joni and Laser, seek out their biological father Paul (Ruffalo) to satisfy their curiosity. While the kids are bonding with Paul, Nic finds that she resents him, but Jules, whom he has hired to do some landscaping, has sex with him. Naturally, when Nic finds out about Jules and Paul, things explode. My only complaint about this movie is that it ended too soon. I rarely complain about a film being too short, but in this case, after getting to know the characters, I didn't want to say goodbye to them. I suppose that's the mark of a good movie. The subtitles are very good. Grade: A-
