I agree Wick. I was debating with a friend yesterday if the movie would have recieved the same attention if it did not feature two moms. What would have happened if the premise involved a straight couple? Interesting thought.

Regarding BigdaddyDave’s Review
Accurate review BigD, mostly in-line if a bit tougher than mine. The fact that this movie was nominated for Best Picture and Best Screenplay Oscars says more about Hollywood politics than it does about the quality of the movie.
