very good

Movie is all right. Pun intended. But not sure what the fuss is about.

Not bad... had some laughs & was mildly entertaining. Julianne Moore was believable, I really liked her character. The ending was disappointing. You're left to wonder what the point was.

I took out this movie because josh Hutcherson was in it but i regret taking it out. This movie has a lot of innapropiate parts and its not for childen. I turned it off after a couple of mintues, it is really bad, you should not take it out!

Terrible movie, not realistic at all and not very entertaining either. I ended up fast forwarding through most of the last half of the movie because it was only getting worse.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what the fuss was about for this movie. Annette Benning does the uptight mom thing from American Beauty, Julianne Moore does the adrift woman who gets naked on her spouse with another person thing (see Chloe) and Mark Ruffalo does the amiable not so nice guy thing. Stir together, shake well and you get this movie; in love with itself and navel gazing. I found it cliched. Story lines were allowed to just peter out. Save your viewing time for a movie that really explores a long term relationship or the reality of love (see Robert Duvall and the incomparable Tess Harper in Tender Mercies). This is a yawner.

A bit too predictable and full of cliches.

Not as great as it thinks it is. Good performances that went unrecognized from Julianne Moore, Josh Hutchinson, and Mia Waczikow.... (that's too many consonants) um, the daughter. The kids weren't the focus, despite what the title may indicate; this film revolves around a lesbian couple and their marital and personal tribulations (which, in a way, is kind of the backwards-come-forwards irony-infused point, that the children were considered to be all right and so were neglected, but in a way, the children were all right as they were the most stable figures in the story). Either way, this film is okay, but not a family film, due to some sex scenes, nudity, inappropriate language, and just the general story likely being unappealing to anyone under, say, sixteen (and even then, they might not have a taste for this kind of film).

This was like watching Rachel Getting Married - slow pace, one-dimensional characters, and bad dialogue. Nutshell: The relationship wasn't believable, real couples don't call each other Honey in every single sentence, offensive stereotyping, the substance abuse issue is never addressed, there's little to no soundtrack so the film moves at an even slower and more awkward pace, no chemistry between any of the characters, etc... As another reviewer mentioned, you can leave the room for awhile and not miss a thing. I recommend you watch Tipping the Velvet, instead. It's an odd little film but the casting is perfect and the relationship is believable.

For the first time much to the dismay of some of the heterosexuals out there we have a film with an average lesbian couple with their average problems and infidelities and melodrama. The wonder is that the director made an excellent funny compassionate film nominated for an Academy Award with this material. I recommend it especially for closet homophobes. Mia Wasikovska, Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore, Annette Bening all top notch.
