Nic and Jules are a perfect middle-aged lesbian couple. Deeply in love each other, they have built over time, a peaceful family atmosphere along with two teenage children, Joni and Laser. When Joni eighteen years, is the younger brother to her pressure to ask the sperm bank and find out the secret identity of the donor with whom they share genetic heritage. Initially skeptical, Joni starts the footsteps of his father and discovers that he is Paul, a ladies' man who runs an organic restaurant on the outskirts of Los Angeles. When by chance the two mothers are aware, we have to try to introduce Paul to the entire nucleus family.
While our local version of the play modern and progressive uncertain trudging between desire and transgression, the awareness campaign and the fear and the challenge of thinking well, producing a typical "indie" American, comes a comedy that succeeds combines international gay issues and traditional values. The film shows us a couple with two teenage children stable and integrated, despite the fact that "man of the house" is a short hair with Annette Bening. The precise refusal by the Director Lisa Cholodenko to describe this family as an anomaly or as a microcosm of the militant and dissociated, should not be interpreted as a fairy-tale vision or an excess of humanism. In contrast, the American director, problematizes the identity of the couple through a project that overturns the traditional perspective of intelligent comedy about homosexuality: rather than tackle questions related to the unusual nature of the gay couple, we are told a hiccup in a relationship to emphasize "normality" of love. Besides this, there are no particular surprises in the evolution of history, indeed, one could say that is quite conventional to deal with a story about an unconventional family unit the thrust of the movie, of course, if it works, thanks to an excellent process of writing and an exceptional cast. Thanks to this, The director builds sequences and dialogue without ever bet on exaggerations or distortions. Rather, his story fascinates and amuses because it can vibrate his characters with all the weaknesses of human action and to keep talking about troubles, gay, lesbian sex and love, letting us make a happy laugh. I recommend it highly.
