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 a movie that combines comedic surprise with poignant emotional truth in a funny, vibrant, and richly drawn portrait of a modern family.

Nic and Jules (three-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening and four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore) are married and share a cozy suburban Southern California home with their teenage children, Joni and Laser. Nic and Jules gave birth to and raised their children. Now, as Joni prepares to leave for college, 15-year-old Laser asks her to help him find their biological father.

Against her better judgment, Joni makes contact with “bio-dad” Paul (Mark Ruffalo) and an unexpected new chapter begins for them as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined.
