KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT |

Logline: |
A sexy, funny story with broad emotional appeal about the “Allgoods”, a modern family dealing with all the usual domestic stresses and then some. The parents have been together long enough to experience the typical ups and downs: 18-year old daughter Joni is heading off to Stanford University and starting to distance herself from her parents; 14-year-old Laser is hanging out with a deadbeat friend who constantly leads him into trouble. This loving but strained home life is thrown into comic disarray when the kids track down their biological (sperm) donor-Dad, Paul, and invite him home for dinner. Paul is a bachelor whose sudden longing for a family introduces an interesting sexual dynamic to the not-quite-ordinary equation of the Allgoods: a “Mrs. and Mrs.” two- mother family… |
