Very moving.
this movie looks at the challenge of marriage and keeping love and the spark alive...the fact that the marriage is with two women is almost secondary to the main message. it is a beautiful piece with brilliant, touching performances. Bening and Moore shine - as always and Ruffalo adds a surprisingly deep performance as the sperm donor dad whose life is changed dramatically when he finds himself part of a close but unconventional family. if you're looking for laugh-out-loud funny, this movie is not it. instead it's a rollercoaster of emotions and a hell of a ride.
I can see how you might say this is boring is you're looking for a laugh-out-loud comedy, but if you're looking for thoughtful dialogue, sarcastic wit, and a superb look at modern day family dynamics applicable to any type of family, then this is YOUR movie. All of the actors were fantastic. If you loved The Squid and the Whale (exceptional movie about divorced kids' lives in the 80s), then you'll love this as I did. And I don't usually like independent artsy films. This has enough commercial appeal to win over audiences.
Very funny heartwarming movie.
We loved this movie. Everything about it was new and fresh. Writer Director Lisa Cholodenko did a super Academy Award consideration job.
