Synopsis

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. The New York Times raves that it’s "a generous, nearly note—perfect portrait of a modern family," and Entertainment Weekly calls the movie "funny, smart and sexy!"

Lisa Cholodenko Set For The Abstinence Teacher, Gearing Up For Wild With Reese Witherspoon

Writer-director Lisa Cholodenko is rightly heralded for her ability to wring comedy and drama from unlikely but still plausible situations, like her Oscar-nominated dramedy The Kids Are All Right that centered on the fallout of two teens seeking out the sperm donor who impregnated their lesbian moms. This makes Cholodenko an exemplary pick to helm the movie adaptation of Tom Perrotta's deeply funny and humane novel The Abstinence Teacher. ...
