I was thrilled when I heard about the premise of The Kids are Alright. First off, what’s to complain about a movie that stars Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo? The addition of rising star Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) doesn’t hurt either. Second, the real reason I loved the movie is the idea of two lesbian moms raising two teenagers together. Of course, it’s a comedy so it’s lighthearted and probably filled with plenty of laughs once the biological father of the kids is found (they go looking for him).
Focus Features is distributing this movie, which will be out at limited theaters on July 7, 2010. If this is in my area I will definitely be heading to the theater to check it out. I don’t know if it will be here, but hopefully it will. I don’t go to the movies to see many comedies, but this would be an exception. Let us know if you plan to check it out or why you’re choosing to skip this one (if you are).
In the meantime, here is the trailer and some screenshots for the upcoming, The Kids Are Alright.
Story:
The Kids Are All Right is the heartfelt new comedy from acclaimed director Lisa Cholodenko, starring Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo. Two teenaged children (Alice in Wonderland’s Mia Wasikowska and Journey to the Center of the Earth’s Josh Hutcherson) get the notion to seek out their biological father and introduce him into the family life that their two mothers (Bening and Moore) have built for them.
Once the donor (Ruffalo) is found, the household will never be the same, as family ties are defined, re—defined, and re—re—defined.
Here is the trailer for those of you that want to check out the movie:
