Released in 2010 this movie stars Annette Benning and Juilanne Moore as lesbian couples, married with two children through a sperm donor.

 Nic (Annette) is the breadwinner of the family and Jules (Julianne) is the 'housewife' with vague plans of starting a landscaping business. They have a son, 15, and a daughter just turned 18 who one day, decides to call up the sperm bank to find out who their biological father is. From there on then he ensembles himself into the family. How you let your children interact with their biological father. How, as a couple you decide whats best for your children, and how do you get through the many challenges that lay ahead. In a movie whose story hinges entirely on how the characters treat one other, the acting here is really interacting, and this stellar ensemble cast gets it exactly right. Bening makes Nic a force to be reckoned with: an sharp-tongued workaholic who loves her wine a little more than she should but who's such lively company you understand what Jules sees in her. But more than anything else, the movie is about marriage, commitment, family values and spending your life with the ones you love. Its about how delicate a family life really is and what a thin thread it hangs by. Its about trying to save that thread from snapping through the many, many challenges and hardships.

One of the best films of 2010, this perfectly acted movie was indeed a very pleasant surprise. The kids eventually turn out to be all right, but the movie turns out to be fantastic!
