Review of The Kids Are All Right (2010) by Andy P — 13 Dec 2013
Could be better. It raises important issues about parenthood and marriage, but I found the narrative more than a little implausible. Is this really how life is lived in California? Maybe, probably not.
It's good on the kids' experience, less so on the adults' lifestyles. Ruffalo's character grows cucumbers and fucks around; Bening is a buttoned-up doctor and Moore a mixed-up 'failure'.
There are segments here that are pure comedy, and others that address serious issues. This is Hollywood does indy and it doesn't work for me. The critics appear to have loved it, though.
