Review of The Kids Are All Right (2010) by Sabrina I — 16 Nov 2011
I was left unimpressed for the most part. I felt like instead of just telling a simple story of a family the film was more concerned with proving that lesbians can raise kids when no proof needs to be given.
Keeping it natural would have worked better. Some scenes were pretty lame and corny - again they seemed forced. I also didn't like how Mark Ruffalo's character was not better written or given a chance to flesh out more.
He comes in the film and goes...just felt like it was pointless bringing him into the film in the first place. The film could have gone in better directions than it did. The whole cheating part was just so predictable and boring.
The film does have some strong points. It's enjoyable. It never really dragged. The actors had great chemistry. The chemistry between Julianne Moore and Annette Bening was especially good. Overall, I think its worth watching for you are looking for an entertaining, family drama but don't expect anything like the director's previous films.
