The Kids Are All Right

Teens Joni and Laser (yes that is really the characters name) decide to track down the sperm donor their lesbian moms (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) used. And once they meet him his involvement in their lives begins to shake up their family. One of those dramedy type movies. Where the humor comes from weird or uncomfortable situations rather than jokes...

Both Josh Hutcherson (who perfectly captures that exasperated sullenness of a 15-year old boy) and Mark Ruffalo (as the donor daddy) are pretty excellent here. Though Moore is also great, as is Bening. Even if she is channeling a bit of the stressed and controlling mom form American Beauty at times...

lesbians, movies
