Not worth all the hype

As a lesbian mother, I heard so many good things about this movie that I was eager to see it and went with my fifteen year old daughter (It was my mistake taking my daughter, should have looked to see if it was really suitable for her.) But I myself didn't want to see all that sex between the straight man and supposedly lesbian mother - I can see male/female sex in any movie. While the lesbian family seemed to make it in the end,.things were lukewarm between the two women, and while I can accept that it's like that after a while, it would have been better to have a flashback showing how hot they were for each other in the beginning. Without this, the film gives the impression that if a woman wants real sex she's got to find a man to f-- her - that relationships between women are about support and cuddling but not "real" sex. Which many people think to begin with, so it fostered that myth. In fact, the only sexy, dynamic person in the whole film was the straight man. I liked the children and the scenery. Other than that, forget it. I left feeling really let down.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Totally absorbed

What I look for in a film lately is to be completely pulled in so I forget my own life and this one did it totally. As everyone else said, it bogs down at the end, some of it seemed just a showcase for music that didn't really fit. But I loved it, identified with characters,especially Ann Hathaway, but everyone else too, was totally absorbed and happy while seeing it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
