Fraudulent and unbearable

"Of course we're not happy. We're CONTENT." That line, said by middle-aged parents to their newly adult offspring, was hilarious in the Sixties movie "Lovers and Other Strangers." In "The Kids are All Right" we're left with the same message, this time supposedly carrying deep meaning. Insight eludes this film as it touches on, but never understands, its own attitudes toward marriage, sex, alcoholism, drugs, adolescent rebellion, bourgeois lifestyles and biological parental ties. Lesbian characters do not save this film from being anything more than an insultingly dumb chick flick.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

An exciting HD opera film

Leo Nucci brings down the house as Rigoletto in this Teatro Regio production from Parma, Italy. As Gilda, Nino Machaidze sings a duet with Nucci that has the audience demanding, and earning, an encore. The production is straightforward, with a few added erotic touches that fit well with the theme and are not too far over the top. Marco Spotti plays Sparafucile with looks and bravura reminiscent of Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
