Im gonna see the movie on Thursday night. That said, I can only imagine that Bean's analysis is so far off base it's ridiculous. It seems to me his only interaction with gays is throught TV or the movies. I feel sorry for him. really I do.

Kicky, did you not feel that the two children still wanting the attention of their "male father" was a slap in the face to lesbian parents?
The movie is basically saying that a two parent homosexual relationship still does not meet the needs of their children. Also the teen daughter definitely has ill towards her parents about them trying to create this artificial family.
Also Kicky, you really dont think that the beginning sex scene with the lesbian parents was degrating? Again its a slap in the face to lesbian women to portray their intimate relations as very ackward and lacking any intimacy.

Sounds like a ****** ****in movie.
The movie would have been the same if it was a heterosexual couple with an infertile husband and an artificial insemination donor.
The issue was not that Mark Ruffalo was a dude. The issue is that he was their biological father.
I'm going to blow your mind with some deep analysis here, but the title of the movie is "The Kids Are All Right."
Let that sink in for a bit.
Or that any two parents will have difficulty meeting the needs of children regardless of gender.
The kids aren't exactly thrilled with Mark Ruffalo either.
The "comical sex scene" has been a staple of film since the 1930s.
bean, your daughter is adorable. she's what? about two? wait about 10-12 years and get back to us...
if you're lucky, about 5-10 years after that, the aliens will return her to the family nest.

Really Kicky? Did you even watch the movie? The only biological connection the brother and sister had to eachother was Mark Ruffulo. That would not happen in a heterosexual couple because the mother would both have genetic connection to both children.
The son deeply wants a male role model. That is the reason he has the wierd relationship with his friend. He also is saddened his biological father was not into sports as much as he was.
The daughter has ill feelings towards her mothers. Especially Bening for trying to create the "perfect lesbian family". She explicitly yells at them about that and slams her bedroom door. She also craves a relationship with a father figure as she spends huge amounts of time with him. She also has no way to act around boys as she's 18 and going to college but yet she is still doenst know what to do around them. This shows with the ackward situation she has with her friend.
Benings character who is the dominating masculine lesbian in the relatioship feels threatened with Mark's character because she has always tried to provide that for the kids. It worsens when she finds out her partner is sleeping with him.
Again the first lesbian sex scene was extremely ackward and lacked intimacy. This is why Moore's character has the affair. She explains this at the end of the movie that she has not felt "close" with Bening and thats why she did it. I believe the first lesbian sex scene and multiple sex scene with Mark are a contrast on what she was expieriencing and what she was trying to fulfill. So again that lesbian sex scene was not for mere "comical relief" in the movie.
Kicky, if you didnt watch the movie just say so.
