The Kids are Allright 2010

Lesbians are normal people too.

Are they really?

Annette Benning and Julianne Moore are great. Now thats out of the way we can talk about the movie. A suburban lesbian couple both 'moms' are bringing up a boy and a girl who seem like normal teenagers (if such a thing exists, normal in teen context means not as weird as most)

The girl turns eighteen, the age which IVF kids can find out about their sperm donor dad. Mark Ruffalo as the smug, organic farmer/restaurateur  does a decent job. The rest of the movie is about how everyone in this seemingly 'normal' family interacts with the sperm donor intruder. Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson hold themselves well in front of the rest of the great cast.

The strength of this film comes from the fact that its been taken like a film about a couple. Not a lesbian couple. Heterosexuals will identify the same insecurities, hiccups and redemption in their own relationships.

PS: A sluuurpilicios chocolate delight called Yaya DaCosta.

Worth a watch.
