Winner of the 2011 Golden Globe for 'Best Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy', Lisa Cholodenko's comedy stars Annette Bening (who also won a Golden Globe for her performance) and Julianne Moore as a middle-aged lesbian couple bringing up their two teenage children, Joni (Mia Wasikowska) and Laser (Josh Hutcherson) in suburban Los Angeles. Both conceived by artificial insemination, the children decide to track down their common biological father without informing their parents. When their father, restaurant owner and lovable rogue Paul (Mark Ruffalo), duly lands in their lives, the family's dynamics are realigned by force as everyone struggles to come to terms with the far-reaching effects of his arrival.
