Three sentence movie reviews: The Kids are All Right

Though I quibbled with the main thrust (hah!) of the story,* there were so many great family moments in this movie that I couldn't do anything but love it.  Plus, I have this theory that Paul Rudd in Clueless** imprinted himself on so many then-high school girls that we can't help but love him whenever we see him and it seems that Mark Ruffalo in You Can Count on Me*** did the same thing, but to my college self and I can't not like him.  And Peeta was in it (!) and that Mia girl with the complex last name is a fantabulous actress.

So I can see why, from a drama prospective, it would be fun to explore what happens when the guy who donated the sperm to create the children starts to have an affair with one of the mothers of said children.  But part of me just couldn't shake the disbelief of "really?"  We can't have a movie about lesbians without a man inserting himself (ahem) into the narrative? Really?
