I thought this film was an excellent mix of funny and touching. My only real complaint would be the loose ends that didn't get tied. All of the actors were exquisitely well cast. All of the roles intertwine and radiate an undeniable chemistry. Annette Bening's character reminded me vaguely of her role in American Beauty, a bit controlling and uptight, but the difference is that in this film she was actually more loveable. All around one of my new favorite movies. A great film, showing an american family go through issues that are more commonplace than some may think. |

So bad that it was kind of amusing. I like Mia Wasikowska and Mark Ruffalo turned in a decent performance as well. |

Can you rate a movie a zero on this website? If so, give it a zero. I tried my best to finish what I start but this film made that resolution impossible. I wanted to gouge out my eyes and shove them in my ears during the vibrator-porn-lesbian toy pleasure scene.
I will need therapy for years after that projectile vomit inducing grotesqueramic gagorama.
Old lady lesbians pleasuring each other is useful only as an appetitie suppressant - bulimia aid. |

The Kids Are All Right review |
|
Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore) are a couple living with kids namely Laser (Josh Hutcherson) and Joni (Mia Wasikowska). Because of Joni’s curiosity, she contacts the sperm bank and dicovers that Paul (Mark Ruffalo) is the responsible donor to her parents. Fantastic performances especially from Bening and Moore were on display. Screenplay was smart with the following quotes: Jules – “Sometimes you hurt the ones you love the most.” “…you're together for so long, that you just... You stop seeing the other person. You just see weird projections of your own junk. Instead of talking to each other, you go off the rails and act grubby and make stupid choices.” Paul – “It's hard enough to open your heart in this world. Don't make it harder.” Soundtrack and pace was decent whi... |

Sploich Reviews The Kids Are All Right (2010) |
|
I'm pretty big on the Oscars. This is pretty obvious, I suppose. You have no idea how much time and effort I have put into the Oscars section of my website. When I hear about a movie that people believe is going to show up at the Oscars, I typically hunt it down and see it as soon as possible. This was the case back in July of 2010 when I heard that the film The Kids Are All Right was playing near me. Since I saw this film I think I have alienated a lot of my friends with my incessant complaining about how much I despised and loathed every inch of this movie, and now here I am to share the pain with my readers.
What we have is a family consisting of two mothers, a son and a daughter. The children have for some time been wondering who their donor father is and so one day when she is of ... |

No Oscar film but good for a laugh |
|
I have no idea why this movie is being nominated for Oscars. It's funny, yes, very funny, and an interesting (if typically Hollywood) portrait of an alternative family, but the acting is not anything to write home about, especially in comparison to some of the real knockout performances this year, and if anything, Julianne Moore should be nommed over Annette Benning, as she had the more challenging character, IMO. Benning's character is no piece of cake either, but I felt that she was shrill and unlikable, and she should have redeemed the role or else why should we care if their marriage works out when the male character makes Moore so much happier? Mark Ruffalo does what he can with a ridiculous role. Some girl from America's Next Top Model shows up. Characters are ludicrously bitchy or ... |
