Focus Features' THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT Hits Select Cities 7/9

The most talked-about film at this year's Sundance Film Festival, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT is directed by Lisa Cholodenko (High Art, Laurel Canyon) from an original screenplay that she wrote with Stuart Blumberg (Keeping the Faith). The movie combines comedic surprise with poignant emotional truth in a funny, vibrant, and richly drawn portrait of a modern family.

Two teenaged children (Mia Wasikowska [of Alice in Wonderland], Josh Hutcherson [this fall's Red Dawn]) conceived by artificial insemination get the notion to seek out their birth father and introduce him into the family life that their two mothers (three-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening and four-time Academy Award nominee JuliAnne Moore) have built for them. Once the donor (Mark Ruffalo [Shutter Island]) is found, the household will never be the same, as family ties are defined re-defined, and re-re-defined. THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT is produced by Gary Gilbert, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, Celine Rattray, Jordan Horowitz, Daniela Taplin Lundberg, and Philippe Hellmann. Focus Features releases THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT in select cities beginning Friday, July 9.

The Kids Are All Right is MPAA-rated R (for strong sexual content, nudity, language, and some teen drug and alcohol use) and has a running time of 105 minutes.
