the fictional characters in "The Kids." They produced seemingly normal Joni, 18, named for Joni Mitchell, and Laser, 15, evidently named by the wolves who raised him. The movie concerns the kids' hunt for their "sperm donor" -- a term used in place of "biological father" to diminish guys. The donor, Paul, is played by a scruffy and delectable Mark Ruffalo.

Inevitably, the kids, who have almost no friends and no discernible religion, find they don't need Dad either. They're tragically disappointed when Paul conducts a villainous affair with the neglected Jules. Oddly, straight sex brings the only hot and natural relief to this movie's stifling awkwardness.

But, for reasons never explained, Jules dumps Paul and animalistic sex, and resumes being emotionally abused by Nic.

The movie was released Friday in Manhattan and Los Angeles to stellar reviews. A.O. Scott of The New York Times made "The Kids" sound like a cross between "It's a Wonderful Life'' and "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," raving about the "close to perfect" performances.

Hollywood needs to be taxed more....

[Signalman]

Hollyweird is a cesspool and the American people have had enough. November is coming.

I’ve seen the preview many times while at the theater. It’s absolutely disgusting and at the theater I have gone to the reactions from the audience is pretty much YUCK and this movie is downright stupid

[momtothree]

Hollywood has certainly tried to depict “normal” American families as repressed, alcohol/drug using, incestuous, suicidal groups. The ones who attend church are always hiding “sin” and the ones who seem “odd” are really the supportive, intelligent ones doing better than their suburban neighbors. By destroying the family, the need and support of one... liberalism separates us into individuals. Individuals need families... plain and simple. One is far more easily controlled if they are are alone in the world. Just a thought

Think I’ll stick with the Who documentary of the variant spelling.

More often than not, stellar reviews mean the movie in question is immoral trash.

All I can say is that I guarantee that no one in my family will ever see this. I’ll stick with old movies, never spending money on new ones, if this garbage keeps up. Actually, strike that last part, I’ll just stick with the old movies. Hollywood’s best days are long, long behind it.

[Trillian]

They think a lot of people are going to watch this LOL.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Hollywood dog sh*t.

[LibWhacker]

It reaches further than the gay-cowboy romp "Brokeback Mountain,"

Like terrorists, Unholy-wood will always go one step further than has ever been gone before. They define that as genius and give each other awards for it. What's off limits today won't be off limits tomorrow. There is no asymptote. Fifty years from now they'll probably find some judge to agree that demonstrating all forms of gay sex during show and tell is constitutionally protected speech -- unless we put an end to the madness.

I wanna know what the devil the reviewer had against “Forrest Gump?” The morals of Gump were CLEARLY superior to the piece of garbage this column describes — “Gump” didn’t HAVE to be “self-righteous” or “moralistic” to SEE that!

[Nepeta]

Thanks fot the warnings.

Hollywood, go to h**l.

From Wikipedia

“Cholodenko is in a relationship with musician Wendy Melvoin.[2] Cholodenko gave birth to their son, Calder, by way of an anonymous sperm donor.[1] She also has two dogs, Rocket and Magnus.[3]”

Now how did I ever know this (gay) would be the case even before I googled her name?

[DontTreadOnMe2009]

Gee, can’t you guess what kind of person made this movie???

“The film The Kids Are All Right stars Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as a couple whose two teenage children have decided to track down their moms’ anonymous sperm donor — played by Mark Ruffalo.

The indie film was written and directed by Lisa Cholodenko, who came up with the plot for the suburban comedy five years ago, when she and her girlfriend decided to have a baby.

snip

Bonus: Cholodenko and her writing partner, Stuart Blumberg, were able to tell the sperm-donor story from both the recipient’s and the donor’s points of view, because Blumberg had donated anonymously
while in college.”

BTW

She looks and acts like Kagan.

I wonder who already controls America ???

[DontTreadOnMe2009]

Peeing on dogs is funny?

[Pinkbell]

I saw the preview and felt sick. Who wants to watch this filth besides homosexuals and the left?

The New York Slimes:

“A generous, nearly note-perfect portrait of a modern family.”

A “modern” family. This is want the libs want. They want a breakdown of the traditional family. When you break down the family, you break down society. When you break down society, you leave the door open for more government control.

Hollywood can go to hell.
