The Kids Are Alright

Every now and then something pops up that seems to be original. The film The Kids Are Alright is about a lesbian couple and their two children. The youngest child is curious as to who his father is and the older sibling does the research.
The man comes into their lives and everything gets put on the table.

The film seems realistic on many levels which is what I like in my movies.
The film stars Annette Benning and Julianne Moore who give great performances as the lesbian couple who have their own issues, but don't realize it until the sperm donor comes into their lives.

The film is quite entertaining and the performances by everyone is very entertaining.
Mark Ruffalo plays the sperm donor.

I recommend this film if you want something that is different. And even more so if you are a fan of Julianne Moore or Annette Benning.
