The most talked-about movie at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, and the winner of the Teddy Award for
Best Feature Film at the 2010 Berlin International Film Festival, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT is directed by
Lisa Cholodenko (HIGH ART, LAUREL CANYON) from an original screenplay that she wrote with
Stuart Blumberg (KEEPING THE FAITH). The movie combines comedic surprise with poignant emotional
truth in a funny, vibrant, and richly drawn portrait of a modern family.
Nic and Jules (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) are married and share a cozy suburban Southern California
home with their teenage children, Joni and Laser (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson). Nic and Jules -
or, when referred to jointly by Joni, "Moms" - gave birth to and raised their children, and built a family life
for the four of them. As Joni prepares to leave for college, 15-year-old Laser presses her for a big favor
He wants Joni, now 18, to help him find their biological father; the two teenagers were conceived by
artificial insemination.
Against her better judgment, Joni honors her brother's request and manages to make contact with
"bio-dad" Paul (Mark Ruffalo), an easygoing restaurateur. The kids find themselves drawn to the confirmed bachelor's footloose style - especially in contrast to Nic, a principled doctor who has long established their
house rules. Jules, who has been looking to start a new career in landscaping, also strikes up a rapport with Paul.
As Paul comes into the lives of the forthright four, an unexpected new chapter begins for them as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined.
