Focus on the Family's Plugged In is raising a warning flag about a movie called The Kids Are All Right, which is making its way into American theatres.
The R-rated film -- which features names like Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, and Mia Wasikowska -- is about a lesbian couple (Moore and actress Annette Bening), each woman having a child through in vitro fertilization, whose children later seek and find their donor father. Plugged In spokesman Adam Holz tells OneNewsNow the comedy paints the idea of a "modern family" -- one stemmed from a same-sex couple -- in a positive light. "The upshot of it all is not only does that cause some conflict in the family, but the man that they discover is their father, a man named Paul, ends up having an affair with one of the women in the couple," Holz reports.Holz explains the film is a story about how infidelity can devastate a family -- but certainly not a family that viewers are used to seeing on screen by any way, shape, or form. So the conservative spokesman feels those are among several reasons why Christians should object. "Not the least of which are several really explicit sex scenes -- one between two women and several between a man and a woman," the Plugged In spokesman gives as an example. "And so there's all kind of content here on top of the philosophical problems." Holz rates the movie as a "hard R" and adds that the film is even more subversive than Brokeback Mountain. In his online review, he notes that the director, Lisa Cholodenko, is herself a lesbian mother in a long-term relationship.
