just when you think you've been reduced to crying at toy story 3 or laughing at the teenage boy humor in get him to the greek, along comes a movie written for adults with adult actors. i just saw the kids are all right and to say that i loved it is an understatement. it's everything i enjoy in a movie.
smart and clever writing with real dialog is not typical and here it flowed easily. the story line was simple even though it had complex layers. the fact that the 2 main characters are lesbians, was just accepted, not glorified or downplayed or over emphasized. actresses with that waxy botox look can be found any and everywhere, but in this movie annette bening and julianne moore, who are 52 and 50 (admittedly) respectively, look beautiful. beautifully real with their lines and freckles.
the other actors - mark ruffalo, as the sperm donor, and his 2 offspring with 2 women are equally as good and solid characters. i loved the style of the movie - the music, home decor, bracelets. i'm not kidding when i say the movie hit a chord....and adult chord.

wwcd: hoping this movie is successful and studios see the need for more like this
Hasn't opened here yet but will definitely check it out! I know what you mean about 'adult movie'.. Just finished season three of Mad Men and had the same feeling..it was nice to watch 'adult tv'.
