Whore youth.

The Kids Are All Right - 4/10. Men are stupid and women are evil. I get to hate one movie a year, and this misogynistic shit is it. There seems to be a terrible trend in movies lately where a terrible character doesn't change, doesn't *want* to change, and the movie asks us to accept them for all their flaws. So while Annette Bening does a nice acting job, her character never seems to admit to any sort of fault, so when the point of the movie ends up being 'love is hard, you know?,' then no, it isn't hard, you're just an asshole and you should break the fuck up. Placing that kind of message on a character like hers makes this a Harmful Movie, because it passes off a Very Bad Idea as a good one. Mark Ruffalo comes off as a decent, if sleazy guy whose character gets shuffled away because facing him would be facing a much larger truth that no one seems to want to have to face. Pussy shit.
