Movie I'm dying to see: "The Kids Are All Right"
At Sundance this week, one of the most talked-about films is an indie comedy about a lesbian couple (played by Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) who are "unwillingly reunited" with the anonymous sperm donor (played by Mark Ruffalo) who fathered their two teenaged children. From everything I've read about "The Kids Are All Right," it sounds like it's a complete winner and completely hilarious. New York Magazine says:
This may turn out to be one of the most significant lesbian films yet made — especially because it's premiering in the long shadow of Prop 8. But straight marrieds will have little trouble identifying with the undermining, bitching, nagging, teasing, and reconciling, either: Lighthearted and uproariously funny, it's not at all a gay-marriage film, but just a great film about marriage.
Bonus: the son character is named "Laser." Why didn't I think of that?!

Nice! I just saw Dorothy Snarker (http://dorothysurrenders.blogspot.com) post about this the other day. I am also really psyched to see this movie–looks like a great story and a fantastic cast, plus, like you said…LASER. Come on now. Clearly not to be missed.
