100% certified bullshit. There are 0 laughs and it relies on nothing more than smug *political correctness* to carry it through to the finish in order to cover up the plot, writing, and acting. The characters are also the most unlikable group of assholes you'll ever see it a movie - Ruffalo being the single exception. More than anything, this just feels insulting to homosexuals.

Mehhhhhhhhhhh. Cholodenko just seems to be trying too hard to make everything so gosh-darned "genuine" that it backfires and feels very manufactured to me. I can't really point to any particular thing and say "this was awful" or "this was phony" and there were a few nice moments, but on the whole I simply didn't connect with the film very much. Maybe I'm just fed up with modern, progressive, earnest domestic dramas... or as I call them, "Sundance bait."

Thought it was extremely well written and honest. Not everything that the characters do is pretty, but the characters seem like real people. That's refreshing because too often in a movie like this characters are written just for some drama, whereas in this it's, yes, more organic. Even though some of the movie is conventional, it is handled so much better than most movies of this type. Moore is amazing yet again. It's not really a comedy... it does drama better.

(2nd viewing) Will probably cause a bipolar reaction. At first, it felt like an outcry over social acceptance of same sex marriage, masquerading as a family dramedy, the latter coming through more on a 2nd viewing. Completely agree with Ytadel about the characters being hard to connect to, whether it's Bening's general unpleasant nature or Moore's infidelity. Add the atrocious camerawork and erratic editing and you've got an anoying movie. The kids on the other hand befit the film's title.

Writer-director Lisa Cholodenko does a masterclass on cinematic drama by creating compelling people, giving them a life-defining situation, and watching them go. The five main leads are so awesome that I wanted more of them when the side characters were onscreen. Also, kudos for avoiding a possible upper middle class L.A. Weiner Kid sentimentality. And as a huge Julianne Moore fan, this is probably the best thing I've ever seen her do. A classic that had me smiling when I wasn't laughing.

I'm not altogether sure why this up for an Oscar but whatever. Moore, Bening and Ruffalo are all deserving of nominations since this is almost more a movie about their performances than it is a successful movie on its own. The script is so-so, the directing is okay (better if it was what encouraged these performances), the score is ho-hum and the pacing is decent. The big reason to watch it is for the performances, the kids included, and it is worth it just for that alone.

You know what every plot development will be 5 minutes in and its not saved by any form of humor as that is completely absent. So as a failed dramedy already it than tortures you with the most unlikable characters ever (Ruffalo and Moore act pretty decent, don't get what the praise about Bening is about). Also the music they used did not fit the scenes at all, it was distracting and annoying. Bland and not in the least bit appealing.

This would have been "just another one", if it had been a man/woman relationship that was depicted. But it's not... And maybe that makes it just a bit more interesting. All I know, is that the performances alone, makes this a movie worth watching, not so much the story. *Good

It's strange that the distinctly average Ruffalo & Bening got so much praise for this film, when Moore out acts them in every scene. It's also strange that this bunch of generally unlikable, dull and irritating characters are used reguarly as an example by the media of the social trials of same-sex relationships? When in reality this film portrays nothing positive about human relationships at all. Aside from that the plot is a shallow, predictable mess, and the writing is nothing special either.

Some interesting performances by Ruffalo and Benning are really the only reason to see this jumbled mess. Both are given tedious, one dimensional roles and yet they still manage to go somewhere with them. Ruffalo, in particular, portraying the second biggest enemy in America (the single man) manages to lend the proceedings some charm, but the raging pro-family subtext becomes nauseating very quickly.

Nice film... It touches upon a lot of tabu's especially for the US. This movie is good because it focuses on the little things which I think is because of the female director and writer. It is refreshing to watch a comedy from that point of view and the cast is great. Definately recommendable.

Great performances but there are a lot of loose threads in the plot, and the comedy, while realistic, is a bit uneven. Also, while the lesbian relationship is one of the most realistic depictions I've seen in a mainstream film, several aspects of it struck me as a bit fake... and the contrast between straight and gay sex scenes caused me to raise an eyebrow. Good movie.

I really wanted to like this movie more than I did, which isn't to say that it isn't still great. What this movie does better than so many others is to give a magnificently honest portrayal of human relationships. I applaud it for that and its fantastic performances across the whole board. However, I wish it could have had a bit more comedic value. And while the ending is fairly satisfying, it leaves nearly 50% of the film pretty unresolved.

It's cute, very well-acted, and occasionally funny, but I struggled with it simply because by the end of the film I only liked the two teens and thought that all three of the adult characters were complete pieces of shit (Moore and Ruffalo for plot-related reasons, Bening for being an immensely unpleasant human being), which is ok in movies where that's the point, less so in ones like this where we're supposed to like and sympathize with them.

A lot more energetic and light-hearted than its marketing and reputation would indicate. The Oscar nominations alone made me think this would be some serious-issues awards-bait slog when it's actually quite fun when it wants to be, and also dramatically compelling as well. That one aspect that people complain about that I thought would be horrible was actually set up in advance in a way that it made sense for the characters in context. So, I ended up enjoying myself quite a bit.

Relationship drama with a bit of dark humour. A lesbian couple who have been ignoring some problems a little too long are forced to face them when their kids track down their sperm donor and invite him into the family. Well-acted story that doesn't make a huge deal of its setup. If anything, it all feels a little too natural, as if the script trusted a good setup and good actors to do all the work and didn't need much of a story. But Bening got the Oscar nod for a reason.

Doesn't really turn out being very funny and instead falls back on family drama. As a drama, I guess it's an okay movie, but I'm disappointed in Ruffalo turning out to be the bad guy, I guess that makes the moody, butch lesbian the good guy and maybe that's the message Cholodenko wanted to portray.

Simple, honest, funny and touching, "The Kids Are All Right" benefits from a heartfelt script and some wonderful acting courtesy of Moore, Ruffalo, Bening, Wasikowska and Hutcherson, who all inhabit their realistic characters with admirable naturalness. Although the situations are certainly familiar and often sitcomlike, the weight of the performances and the sincerity of the screenplay, both by equal turns hilarious and heart-breaking, make this a lovely film.

The reason I decided to watch this movie was the ukrainian origin of the director Lisa Cholodenko, plus, with all that hype in the Internet, awards and misleading trailer, which really represented the movie as family gay comedy, I was expecting some kind of unusual entertainment. In reality it was just a sheer drama with gay relationships, weird voice by Ruffalo and music which does not feet the content. I guess this movie is purely designed for american audience.

story about a family consisting of two maternal figures (lesbian couple), and two teenage children, both the offspring of the same sperm donor. The movie focuses on the family's attempt to incorporate said sperm donor, played by Mark Ruffalo, into their lives, and of course this complicates the family dynamic leading to an array of consequences that range from light hearted comedy to genuine tragedy and back again. It's by no means a particularly ground breaking film but it's competent. Good.

Reveals to the audience that same-sex relationships struggle with the same issues as traditional ones - maybe even to heightened degrees at points because of feelings of inadequacy based on socially perceived gender roles. It's also a critique of a "grass is always greener" outlook, as the kids' search for the ideal father figure complicates the delicate family balance. Character flaws are heightened by the story arc, but are terrific foils for the emotional struggles faced by American families.

Very funny, well put-together, poignant and organic story about an unconventional (extended) family whose lives get turned upside-down by circumstance and choices. Sounds like your average dramedy but TKAAR is anything but. Excellent performances by the main trio underscore a frustratingly-complicated chain of events leading to the climactic finale. This is what dramedy should be, without question. Ruffalo especially plays an immensely-relatable and investment-worthy character. Love this movie!

A pretty common problem with dramas seems to be the constant striving for authenticity and The Kids are all Right falls into the trap of assuming that ordinary people, plausible problems and unresolvable complexities somehow will be like fresh air, when it seems more of a cliche now than ever. Finding confusion and despair beneath happy marriages and imperfect, yet mature children has come to define the picture of the modern household. At the end, there's little story and nothing to learn.

The nuclear family is analyzed, dissolved and somehow strangely and awkwardly reassembled in "The Kids Are All Right", which features some truly great writing, while boasting top-of-their-game performances from Bening, Moore and Ruffalo in particular. It's also refreshing to see a mainstream movie incorporate gay male porn, lesbian sex and conversational taboos - even more so in that it's done naturally or, rather, to paraphrase the movie's digs at green eco nutters, "organically".

The story wasn't strong enough for me, but, to be fair, this is a character study--or to be more precise, a "family study." What made this film work are the performances Annette Bening and Julianne Moore. I don't think there are many other American actors better than these two (See also Bening's solid performance in *Mother and Son*.) I also liked that the film was more of a dramatic work than a socio-political one. The film doesn't really preach or demonize, which was a good thing.

Whatever the contrivances, we get to watch two supremely skilled actresses at work, Bening and Moore. The first one, with her short hair and sharp tongue ("I need your observations like I need a dick in my ass"), her eloquent looks of consternation when words fail, her defensive fondness for wine and resistance to trends and fashion, her initial hostility to the male interloper and her moment of rapport with him over Joni Mitchell, gets the better of the competition.

Wow. Excellent. Cholodenko knows when to give us a little scene rather than a big one. I also must say I rarely see a movie that so totally nails the I'm-OK-you're-OK-anything-goes culture of southern California. Hilarious, moving, and hats off to Bening and Moore for a VERY convincing portrayal of two women who've been living together for a long time, try really hard to be good parents, have all their pet resentments of one another, but who, deep down, seriously love each other

Regnbågsfamiljen börjar synas också i Hollywoodfilmer... Fast egentligen är den här filmen mer allmängiltig: den handlar om temata som svårigheten att få en lång relation att hålla och om att bli vuxen/våga släppa taget om sin tonåring. Lite uppkryddat av att det är ett lesbiskt par i centrum. Det är välspelat och delvis riktigt roligt, men måhända lite tunt: en feelgood-fyra!

Julianne Moore is always great, and practically always the best part of everything she's in. The problem I have with this is that it panders. So. Much. To its audience. Yes, we get that they're lesbians. It always feels like the word "lesbian" is meant to be a punch line for some reason. This movie just comes off weirdly backwards on the subject. It gets to actually be almost insulting to the gay community. No, I didn't dig this one at all. How did this get nominated for Best Picture again?

The Kids Are All Right is a very good movie. It is highly entertaining, and has some points to make and lessons to teach on familial values, regardless of how weird you think your family happens to be. Its strength lies in its characters, which are wonderfully written and acted. They feel as real as people in the movies can be. It also tells an interesting story, and has been shot and assembled with great care. This is a winner, and I absolutely think it's worth seeing.

This was a little too good, you know? The plot, though intriguing, is utterly predictable; the performances are just right for their characters, but none really stick out; the direction conveys plenty of information, but it is bland and avoids risks. I thoroughly enjoyed The Kids Are All Right, but it seems to be too reliant on its subject's status and representation. This movie has been made multiple times before; the lead couple was just not gay.

A promising premise, but the characters are annoying, much of the humour falls flat (it has its moments though) and even though it's fairly dramatically engaging I was uneasy with film's oddly conservative presentation of lesbianism (still it counts as progress that Hollywood tries to give positive portrayals), and I thought the film abandoned the most interesting subject for it to explore (the father as an, admittedly imperfect, male role model) just because exploring it would be challenging.

It was weird to see Annette Bening and Julianne Moore play a lesbian couple. Mark Ruffalo was the father and has an affair with Julianne. While I did enjoy the movie this is mostly a drama about a stressed relationship and family ties. Julianne Moore was lovely in this, so many cute freckles. Annette Bening who I usually love is very butch and is looking more than a bit tired in this. Mia Wasikowska was lovely as the young daughter. The story is somewhat unremarkable, but watchable.

The story had all the potential to explore the varied ranges of non-nuclear family units, but it squandered that opportunity in order to serve an unconventional form of entertainment that preyed upon the novelty of the premise. The premise itself isn't valuable enough to present on its own without at least addressing some of the deeper implications of unusual familial arrangements, including the intriguing situation of having a sperm donor entering the lives of two mothers and their children.

Sadly the movie starts off really lovely and then just spirals downward. I started losing interest in just about everyone by the end. I think Ruffalo was the best in this and deserved his nom. but Bening was just ok. I can't believe this movie was up for best picture. Wake up academy, there are much better movies out there than this.

Worthwhile as both a well-acted ensemble piece and as a smart, warm statement on family values, The Kids Are All Right is remarkable.

I quite enjoyed the movie, and it's definately one of the few dramas Hollywood produces that depict gay parents in such a depth, but the movie just didn't have anything particularly special I'd remember it by. It raises many questions, offers some answers, and (probably) screws up some scenes by a large margin. Wouldn't know as I'm straight. But I'd suggest it to anyone that wants to see not quite an ordinary American drama.

Excelentes actuaciones de una trama singular. Se muestran crisis familiares con una autenticidad que no he visto en mucho tiempo. Podrian haber profundizado mas en el guion que se queda atras.

I'd say I enjoyed this film. It was nice. The performances from all the actors were great. However, at the end, I was left thinking, what's the point? I usually don't mind meandering films that just show characters and events and that's it. But this one felt empty to me.

A story about an "unconventional family." The performances by Julianne Moore and Anette Benning are the centerpieces of the film. Combined that with the authentic story and you get a movie that feels like real life.

Strong performances from a talented cast make this a pretty good dramedy. A bit overly sentimental and "academy awardy" in spots.

Great movie. An interesting family drama of a modern family, but despite all the complexity of the situation, it's fun to watch, and does not appeals to moral lessons.

There is only one good thing about this movie - the Jules-Gardner scene. Everything else was just a ride between guessing either you are watching just another romantic comedy or you are in a wait of a massive twist. This movie was a great disappointment.

A great film that encompasses a story of modern romance and toys in natural thoughts of curiosity and sexual exploration and confusion.

I really like the writing here, the way Chodolenko satirizes the new age style of the lesbian couple, showing their language filled with cliche and their actions with small hypocrisies, and yet still gives Bening and Moore enough material to create characters who are likable and admirable. Perhaps even better is Mark Ruffalo, his vague, semi-intelligent, meandering performance pitch perfect for this aging West Coast Peter Pan.

Enjoyable film with solid performances from actors you'd expect solid performances from. In short, it would be Annette gain if Moore films like this were made - Mark my words.

An austere film that deserves the praises it has received for no particular reason apart from being simple, touching and articulate. The kids are alright and Ruffalo is decent, although kind of weird, so most of the weight is carried by the Mums: Bening and Moore, who add yet another monumental performance in their righteously distinguished careers.

I think I missed something here. I don't hate the film, the cast is great but I didn't find it funny at all. Sure it's light, but that doesn't make it a comedy. Also predictable.

Film homofobiklerin escinsellere yaptigini, escinseller lehine heteroseksuellere yapiyor. Boyle olunca escinseller de bir bakima homofobik olmus oluyor. Faşizan mantalite acisindan benim icin bir fark yok. Cinsel ozgurlugu ve esitligi, taraf tutmadan savunabilmeliydi. Film bunu beceremiyor.

i enjoyed it a lot, although the ending left me dissatisfied. it's very rushed, the mark ruffalo character is easily deemed responsible and discarded. after a moment of silence the lesbians decide everything is "all right" again and the movie ends. this was unexpected, as a lot of work goes into depicting the sperm-donor as an okay guy with good intentions, if a bit lewd. yet he didn't exactly rape anyone, it was consensual sex that ruined everything. a great movie nonetheless.

A well made movie with excellent performances, but I kinda got the feeling that they weren't sure which way to go: comedy or drama? They ended up with a dramedy (which is fine), but in the end, I just went away more depressed than anything. Again, it;s a good film, but Oscar worthy? Not too sure about that......

A decent movie, it speaks for itself about a lot of subjects, like the marriage, the bissexual and gay stuff, the children and how about raising them, affairs, relationship between couples, the work stress and so much else. It is a good movie to watch, not brilliant, it is, how can i say, sensitive. It talks about the routine.
