The breakdown:  The children of a lesbian couple track down their sperm donating father when the daughter turns 18.

The kids may be all right, but this movie was not.  It absolutely baffles me that it was nominated for 4 Oscars, what a joke!
A lesbian couple had two kids from the same sperm donor, one with one woman, one with the other.  So the children are really half brother and sister.  The girl turns 18 and is urged by her younger brother to seek out their father without telling their moms.  They find him and start a tentative relationship, but only tell their moms after it slips out during a discussion about something else.  The moms worry that they will now have to share their kids with some strange man.  One woman is very uptight and controlling, the other is a free spirit who drifts from ambition to ambition.  The ambitionless one starts a landscaping business and the sperm donor asks to hire her to help him with his backyard.  They end up having an affair which the other woman finds out about by accident on her own with a visit to his house.  There is a lot of gratuitous sex and a lack of understanding from me how a movie this dull got produced.
This movie was so boring and you never invest very much in any of the characters.

I give it a 1 out of 5 for Mark Ruffalo's nakedness throughout the movie.
