The Kids Are All Right: Our Review
Being that we made some commentary on this movie in show #70 we decided to each pay $13. to the straight men, the wealthy Hollywood actors and the Lesbian director profiting from this movie.
Here’s a clue for the small minority of people whining “But you haven’t seeeeeeeeeeeeen it yet” … uhhh… sending a Lesbian with even a droplet of self-esteem to see this movie is mistaken. It is INDEED about a “Lesbian” having an affair with a sweaty dirt bag sperm donor.
Simply put…this movie is f*cking disgusting.
At one point, I actually got weepy at the level of betrayal I felt knowing a Lesbian apparently co-wrote and directed this film. It certainly wasn’t due to the writing, story, or acting…that’s for sure. Annette Benning may be up for an Oscar? Huh? The movie is terrible and… it had maybe one or two moments at best. I went in expecting to get kicked in the face, but I was also expecting a really well made film after finding out it was the same director of High Art which I thought was fantastic. I didn’t expect this boring movie that dragged on and on and on to an idiotic non-conclusion. I gleaned absolutely nothing from this film except confirmation of the lengths sellouts will go to for five minutes of fame and recognition.
What were even more harrowing were the scattered half-laughs and whispers from the men and mostly straight white couples in the nearly empty Upper East Side Manhattan movie theater.
Vomit Spoiler Alert for Lesbian Bulimics: Julianne Moore’s eyes widening and her shrieking “WHOA! WOW! OH YES!” when she pulled down Paul’s underwear….. as if that’s what she’s been missing her whole life….??? listen, I have a weak stomach with certain things. I could have puked right there in the aisle.
Short story long, this movie broke my heart. I am saddened, angry and feel very alienated by Gay Inc. for not taking a single solitary issue with it. GLAAD issues dozens of inane press releases daily and they didn’t manage to find even the slightest inaccuracy or defamation in the portrayal of a “Lesbian” getting f*cked every which way to Sunday by a dude? Here’s news: the overwhelming majority of Lesbians outwardly reject this film. Taking some Jerry Springer situation and pushing it out to the masses and marketing it as a “Lesbian Movie” is horrifyingly irresponsible and sellout. There are so few films in mainstream involving lesbians, they know damn well how damaging this image is.
Well, let this be a lesson to Lesbians…..YOU are on your own.
Derrick Jensen said it perfectly, in a different context but it applies here:
“Identification with a community only works when the community is serving you as well.”
We are sick of movies and shows depicting “Lesbians” f*cking men. The End. And if the people who produce this kind of thing knew we wouldn’t just sit down and shut up and we’d hold them accountable, we could discourage it. It isn’t just a matter of a difference of opinion …this film perpetuates the damaging myth that only men’s sexuality is certain and Lesbians are not really Lesbians, especially when they are more feminine.
We are really over it.
I’d sooner support a movie featuring finger puppets than this one.

Hey, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!
great post keep up the countless work.
I just felt like remembering that I hated this movie. The Kids Are All Right: Our Review http://t.co/R4MdkfBT
great post, i certainly love this website, keep on it
Hear-hear! I never got how it’s entertaining for the lesbian to be unfaithful with a guy who doesn’t shower? The lesbian who shot this should be forced to be gang-banged by a hoard of homeless men and see if she enjoys it. Then perhaps she’ll get some perspective on the subject. This ain’t entertainment. This is what happens when dyed-in-the-wool lesbian sells out in Hollywood.
63 year old heterosexual, with some wonderful Lesbian, and Homosexual friends, I was upset by this film and its lack of thought and feeling, for the way it portrayed,and betrayed millions and millions of very special people from every part of the planet.
When Hollywood get it wrong, they really do get it totally wrong.
So Very Sad…

Possibly the top post I read all year.
This was a god awful movie in so many ways. I obviously do not like the usual lesbian craves dick BS but this movie sucked on so many other levels as well. It’s just laughable. Lisa is a hack and always has been and will continue to be so. She really is not that proficient of a storyteller.
This movie isn’t really about the female leads at all it’s about creepy Ruffalo’s character. It must suck being an actress. Someone of Benning’s caliber being forced to take shitty roles like this? OY! Poor thing.
You certainly deserve a round of applause for your post and more specifically, your blog in general.

Thank you,Thank you,Thank you,Thank you,Thank you,Thank you,!!!!!!!
Saw the movie last night and I am sick 24 hours later. Then after going online saw nothing but glowing reviews with major media, one after the other. This movie left me disgusted, appalled and frightened. My lesbian friends are in shock. Yet the rest of the world just loves it. No where to turn, and yes we are on our own. What scares me the most are the implications of mothers who will loose custody of their own children with hollywood continuing to portray lesbians as sluts and drunks.
Lesbian going loony!!!
@jayshana it has nothing to do with “liking.” You should read The Lesbian Mafia’s Twitter page over the past week. There’s an education right there http://www.twitter.com/thelesbianmafia
Here’s a copy and paste of the last tweet on this subject:
like unico’s position on js, the few lesbians who don’t realize the depth of damage being done by this movie may not realize that they aren’t watching this movie within their little confines. around the world ppl know few things about lesbian culture, they think what they see in movies & on tv is real.
generation after generation all straight ppl have ever seen is Lesbians getting stuffed by dudes. over and over and over again. it’s ingrained in the culture and when they see a Lesbian they connect us to that image. why is this allowed to go on?
and that’s not even considering the media assault by the “lesbian” porn industry.
we do not deserve it.
enough is enough already.

@lkmi Not really "everyone," mostly one really vocal blog. See: http://bit.ly/bgRDew and http://bit.ly/ahI8jW
I mean…okay….I don’t see an issue with the movie because its not ALL lesbians but this could maybe possibly happen. I don’t think the woman is a sellout…I think she’s a professional. I think that the writers of this play took a LOT of liberties…and that as writers they can do that. Though you may not LIKE the movie movie makers have the right to express any narrow minded views that they want to. #JustBeingHonest.
