Kids Are All Right, The
Rating = B-
I didn't think this was as
good as some of the real critics thought it was. I did like the premise of the
married lesbians each having a child by the same sperm donor making their
children half-siblings by the absent father. And I inordinately enjoyed that
the brother and sister teenage children calls their parents collectively
“moms.”
The acting was uniformly good, and the relationship between the two moms seemed
real enough that the fling of one of the moms with the father of their children
didn't seem so plausible. Of course, the story is really about any long-term
marriage, not especially about lesbian marriage.
