Superbly acted by the full cast, "The Kids Are All Right" delivers an honest portrait of family relationships. The pacing is pitch-perfect; the humor is both effective and sharp. And the genuine emotions evoked throughout the film exceeded my expectations.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I really liked this movie! The relationship between Jules and Paul seemed unrealistic at first; but the more I thought about it, it made more sense when given the biological mom and dad relationship and a possible need to explore that. The acting was great! The frequent close ups of Benning and Moore prove that great acting trumps glamour and vanity. Overall, I found the movie very enjoyable and would give it 4 1/2 stars.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Outstanding in so many ways that I'm at a loss to list them. Moved right to my Top Ten Movies of all time. If you put Script at the top of your list, and want to see actors "not" acting, this is definitely a must-see film for you. Hats off to writer-director Lisa Cholodenko. The real shocker, however, is that she is not already lined up for a new project (according to imdb.com). Hollywood - hello??????
Yes, I recommend this movie.

i loved this movie! It was clever, witty, laugh out loud funny. Very well acted and completely plausible. It ended where it should, no melodrama, just some real-life pain and discomfort, and lots of heart-warming moments.

The story line and acting was what got me there.. The acting lived up to my expectations - which were high considering the wonderful cast. The story was also good, but ran out of steam and left me a bit flat. Mark Ruffalos character was too cliche, which detracted from the authenticity of the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is an insult to lesbians. It gives straight men the idea that lesbian woman get off on themselves by a mans penis. I am a lesbian woman and I found it very humiliating and insulting. I have never used gay men's porn to get aroused by my partner. I have never know a lesbian woman to use it either. This movie was stressful and demoralizing to lesbians. I wouldn't recommend this movie to lesbians or straight people. As usual it gives the wrong impression. If they are going to put something out there about lesbians, please put the truth.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

One that truly captures the experience of being in a long-term committed relationship. There are so many amazing moments captured in this film. Be prepared to take a ride on an emotional rollercoaster...this is a great one to prompt some useful discussion between partners, as well. Certainly one of the best I've seen in the past few years.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

One of the best acted films I've seen in a long time. Well written and directed- I love when film takes you into the belly of the beast and this one went all the way. The uncomfortable scenes were extremely uncomfortable-I was squirming in my seat and you truly see that a gay marriage/relationship is no different then any other and that donating/accepting sperm is complicated. I really felt connected and invested in the story and the characters. I will be surprised if Oscar passes over this one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

All of the actors did a superb job, and the story and script were excellent, with only a couple of exceptions. I thought the "f" word was used about 4,000 times more than necessary for realism, and more sex was graphically shown than romantic or even sexy. But a good relationship and family-life-is-messy-but-loving movie. Should not be billed as a comedy, although parts are amusing. Bening and Moore were terrific.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Would absolutely reccomend this movie. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore are spot-on as a couple that any couple can relate to. Mark Ruffalo nails the role of an aging-organic-hippie-floater kind of guy confronting "what-if" feelings, and the kids are fantastic displays of the frenetic emotions of teenagers responding to the world around them. Laugh, cry, relate, and love them!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I am a 63 year old straight woman and I enjoyed the movie. I laughed out loud quite a few times and I am not that easy to make me laugh. I am open minded though after all we are in 2010--the rating of R on the movie tells you exactly what to expect as far as language etc. so if you don.t agree with that you always have an option--the acting was great, my husband went with me and he laughed as well, so overall it was a good day out.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

As a gay man it is good to see mainstream movies deal with the realities of same sex couples. At the same time, there is no way in the world a movie would have been made featuring 2 men. Plus to apease the masses, of course she had an affair with a man! But on the whole, no make-up, pimples on butts, and the actors bravely showing their flaws, I was impressed. And if Annette Bening doesn't get an oscar nod I will be surprised...

The lead actors, as always, were excellent!! They were the reason we expected more but even their excellence could not save the ridiculous script.
Tawdriness, shock gimmickry, and silliness prevails. I wasted a glorious summer afternoon.

Outstanding performances by the 3 principals.
Meticulous script. Topic is a reflection of one of modern life's newer relationships, which ranges from indifference to poignant. The movie ends with a question: will the 5 continue as a family, strained as it became?

I thought that the movie was very good. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore had a very realistic relationship. I love Mark Ruffalo, he is very sexy and I liked his interaction with his biological children. I could understand Annette Bening's character being very upset and feeling threatened by the sperm donor being in her children's lives.

It all begins with the writing. In this case that's as good as it can possibly be. Characters are so clearly drawn. Bening, Moore and Ruffalo are Academy Award contenders. Waskowska ,who plays the teen aged daughter is a major talent. Don't let the lesbian relationship scare you away. This is just another version of a family with its joys and pains. The psychological truth of the relationships rings so true you can't deny the honesty.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
