Review: The Kids Are All Right
08/02/2010 by Leave a Comment
The Kids Are All Right is a unique and funny dramedy that is driven by its excellent acting on all fronts.
Following a pair of siblings born from the same sperm donor but were each birthed by their separate moms, we pick up just after the oldest, Joni, has turned 18 and can legally request to meet her donor. Joni is hesitant but agrees at the insistence of her brother, Laser, who wishes to meet his father as he has missed out on that relationship his whole life. Enter Paul, Nic and Jules’ (Joni and Laser’s moms, respective) sperm donor. Paul owns a restaurant, is all about being “local”, and has a very laid back feeling on the world. Paul quickly becomes anxious to be a part of his kids’ lives and Joni and Laser’s feelings are mutual before Joni heads off to college. Tensions arise though as Nic has a hard time letting Paul into her family’s life, while Jules and Paul fall a bit easier into step.
