The Kids Are All Right (2010)

IMDb

This is the film about the two kids raised by lesbian moms who track down there father (i.e. there mothers sperm donor). Turns out dad's a lade back cat who owns an organic restaurant, one mother is very put off by him while the other finds him kind of fascinating. The title is apropos as the kids are generally the most adjusted characters in the movie, the adults have there various neuroses, but none really that over the top.

Obviously many people won't care to watch a film about this kind of family, and I'll admit some of its more explicate/sexual scenes were kind of uncomfortable (I'm thinking of one in particular), but the film seems fair to me, though defiantly on the PC side. Good performances, deft handling and a refreshingly different kind of plot make this one an A-
