This new movie written by Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg star a family of four, composed of a young teenage boy who has questionable friends, a daughter heading off to college and their two mothers. You guessed right, it’s a modern family and that’s what the movie is all about. It’s not really a drama nor a comedy but you have plenty of both weaved into this adorable movie. Jules (Julianne Moore) and Nic (Annette Bening) made use of a sperm donor in order to have both of their children. To each their child, but you quickly realize that this family has been living just like any other family has to live. It’s funny how much I could relate to their family dynamics, the movie does not take itself too seriously as it sometimes felt into clichés. But you clearly feel that they portrayed an emotional story with a light heart. It’s the summer for crying out loud! I had more laughs that I would of imagined, the execution is solid and I was surely in awh, waiting to see what the next reaction would be. Not to be seen with your kids, but I believe parents and couple will truly identify as to what goes into a relationship. Not to delve in the plot too much, but the movie kicks into gear when the kids decide they want to meet their biological father. This new person, new father, they most connect with will have impacted their lives in ways they could not of imagined. Trailer is after the jump, I liked the movie, I could recommend The Kids Are All Right, but you need to be open-minded enough to pull some life lessons out of it. (more…)
