BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

erika-2-160114 The acting was so bad. It just seems to me who ever did film did not know much about this topic. What it is like for same sex couples home life is. Also how many kids of same sex couples ask who their Sperm Donor is. Do not watch this film.

Thomas Drufke Sometimes films feel like they are purely made for awards consideration without much depth or flare to them. The Kids Are All Right is a perfectly fine film, without a major flaw, but I didn't find anything beneath the surface of this film to deserve any extra recognition. The film is about marriage, and the things that bind and break one. Perhaps it's just the fact that I couldn't find any sort of connection to these characters. Sometimes that's all it takes to enjoy a film.Mark Ruffalo, Annette Bening, and Julianne Moore are at the center of this story dealing with a lesbian couple and their sperm donor who suddenly becomes a part of their day to day lives as their daughter reaches out to him. It's smart, well acted, and mostly funny film about family, but it never breaks new ground or develops into a memorable story. In fact, once the film moves on from being about the children and more about the 3 adults, it becomes far less interesting. Which for me is where the film lost most of its steam, and never seemed to recover.6.0/10

Scott-101 "The Kids Are All Right" is a pretty admirable dramedy whose main accomplishment, so far as I can gather, is portraying a family of two lesbian mothers as naturally as it would a hetero-normative (sorry for the fancy word) family. Aside from that, it's a fairly standard entry in the film genre of indie dramedy. The characters aren't amazingly rich although the kids are colored in pretty well. It's even kind of admirable that Mia Wasikowska isn't any shade of basket case as that's what this genre sort of thrives on and Josh Hutcherson (AKA the guy who's constantly getting out-acted by everyone else in "The Hunger Games" films) is pretty low-key in his teenage angst as well.Julianne Moore is the standout character of the cast for my money as a woman who's kind of hip and counterculture (her t-shirt collection could be the stuff of tumblr fame if she starred on a TV show like "The Big Bang Theory") without pushing it too far.The characters, on the whole, are well-drawn but not inherently exciting which brings the movie down the notch because there isn't a whole lot of action. There's a marriage that oscillates between loving and duck for cover (when Julianne Moore says to Annette Bening "do you even love me anymore?" that's pretty strong) and not enough of a seamless transition to make it flow. Retroactively, you leave the film with a clearer view of what the actors, screenwriter, and director was going for-- a loving couple who fights just like any heterosexual couple -- so I could understand looking back on it positively, but as it is happening, it's awkward. Similarly, there's an affair between Mark Ruffalo and Julianne Moore and it's kind of a fun twist but it's not particularly earned. It also sheds big question likes on Moore's placement on the Kinsey scale as she clearly says "I'm gay." It's hard to judge this film without mentioning it got a Best Picture Nomination at the Oscars. That was the reason I saw the film in the first place, I'm a little baffled. My guess is that seeing such a natural portrayal of a homosexual couple was the novelty factor and the indie feel is something people dug although indie sometimes means slow and slightly boring. The film also got nominations for Bening and Ruffalo but they are the two most boring characters of the quintet. On the whole, it's an OK film that could potentially hit you better than it hit me.

Davis P The Kids Are All Right is a very well made film that focuses on two same sex partners and their children. The children find their sperm donor, and thus we have our movie. All the performances in the film are sublime, absolutely wonderful! Julianne Moore and Annette bening have amazing on screen chemistry together, especially in the intense scenes. Also, josh hutcherson, and Mia were had really impressive performances as well, so did Mark ruffalo as Paul. The dialogue in the film is really good and intense, very impressed!! The sex scenes, I thought, we're just a bit much, maybe a little too graphic, but that was really the only issue I had with the movie, other than that, it was great, loved it! 8/10
