A different look at the modern family dynamic, The Kids Are Alright was an excellent showcase for the aging relationship and the myriad dilemmas associated with that. Regardless of the complexities of the lesbian relationship and the parenting of two teen children achieved through IVF, the film spoke to the commonalities we all share. It was a good example of the tragedies, humour, and mundaness of everyday life... A good film!
I thought it was an interesting movie and an unusual family dynamic with the same sex parents. Quite fresh, but I would probably save it for the DVD if you haven't seen it yet.
Hilarious,moving,honest,sensitive,witty...It was great to see the character development and the process of a relationship, whether gay or straight,everyone at the core goes through the same things!
great acting, funny, sweet heartfelt. not much of a plot though...
This movie is waaaayyyyyyy out there. Thought it was going to be funny and it was not at all. I don't know why anyone would want to see - I can't see myself saying to anyone "OMG, you should see this movie".
this movie was great!! I would see it again and buy when it comes out on dvd
Loveeeeeeeeeee it
Annette, Julianne and Mark were excellent in this movie. A great drama that's both funny and heartfelt. Each of the three lead actors provided an outstanding performance. I liked the fact that the movie did not focus on the couple being lesbians or that it was a lesbian family, but rather a real family and real relationships. I wouldn't be surprised to see Annette and Julianne being nominated for next year's Oscar. And Mark...sexy and hot.
Modern day dromedy about modern age lesbian marriage and their two teenaged biological children (thanks to sperm donor). Great family story. Strong performances by every actor. Very interesting look at (long-term) marriage, kids going off to college, weathering the storm of "life."
Awesome movie that really pulls at your heart strings. Its about time people realize that marriage is marriage regardless of biology.
