From NetFlix:
Joni (Mia Wasikowska) and Laser (Josh Hutcherson), the children of same-sex parents Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore), become curious about the identity of their sperm-donor dad (Mark Ruffalo) and set out to make him part of their family unit, often with hilarious results. But his arrival complicates the household dynamics, and nobody is sure where or how he fits in — if at all — in this Golden Globe-nominated comedy.
Because of a few details such as Annette Bening using the F-word in the majority of her lines and several male gay sex video segments used by the lesbian couple to become aroused, this film is probably not for children (unless, of course, they come from Los Angeles).
If there is a message in this film, it is that gay marriage is not that much different from straight marriage as regards the passage of years, the difficulty of communication, infidelity and all the usual problems.
Would it really happen that Julianne Moore has a fling with Mark Ruffalo ?
Both kids were great and as the film ends my only regret was how things ended for Mark Ruffalo. Comments ?
I felt very bad for Mark Ruffalo’s character and just loved him! But I did not understand the chemistry between him and Jules. Seemed unrealistic to me, not clear she was experimenting or was bi- or what.
