Every now and then an indie film hits the right note with the public and earns money and awards. This was one such movie. It has the appeal of a star cast, some funny, warm moments, and a familiar story with a twist – Anette Bening and Julianne Moore are a lesbian couple whose life is thrown into turmoil by the emergence of their sperm donor (Mark Ruffalo). Act Two is Moore and Ruffalo having an affair. Everyone in the film is like a lesbian: Ruffalo wears a leather jacket, owns an organic farm, drives a motorbike, but isn’t a real threat; one kid is into team sports, the other is a nerd. Easy going story, not without charm, but ultimately dull.
