The Kids Are All Right (2010): Two children conceived by artificial insemination bring their birth father into their family life. (7.2)
Director: Lisa Cholodenko
Writers: Lisa Cholodenko, Stuart Blumberg
Stars: Annette Bening, Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo
Ok, points for picking some timely issues to tackle, but writer/director decided to go for the cheap laughs and make it a superficial movie with nothing under the surface. Ugh. And, what's with those almost soft-porn-like sex scenes ... for the shock appeal? When you try to mix comedy with serious subjects, neither comes off right. So, the sub-title for the movie is "... but, the parents are not. And, neither is this movie!" My Rating: 5.5
