THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT embraces "My Generation" and "Generation Y" in one big group hug. Director and co-writer Lisa Cholodenko delivers a fresh, funny and vibrant film that not only keenly observes a family in modern day, but also asks its characters to consider the timeless meaning of a promise made. Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson act and live as one in this brilliant indie gem that sparkles with studio-sized talent.
