The Kids Are Alright

The kids Are Alright is a perfect film to see with friends on a Saturday afternoon. It is about an unconventional family its problems. The kids, laser (Josh Hutcherson) aged 15 and Joni (Mia Wasikowska) aged 18, have two mothers Nic and Jules. Nic’s a doctor and a perfectionist, and Jules was almost an architect once and is now maybe sort of kind of thinking about landscape design.

The family is alright in the beginning, but the trouble starts when the sperm donor, Paul, appears when he receives a phone call from Joni. Paul will turn upside down the family. Some people could think that The Kids Are Alright tries to normalize homosexual families, but actually, the fact that Jules and Nic are lesbians and have two kids seem very normal in the film. That is helped by the good work of the actors in this movie.

The film, generally, is very funny. Every Laser´s comment makes laugh. However, it is the typical American film: a happy family with a big house and a good car, but then the interloper appears and the family starts having problems. However, in the end the family sorts out the problems and they are again happy. To sum up, I recommend this entertaining film to everybody, if you are not against lesbian families. If you are, change your mind, The Kids Are Alright.

Paradise

I would like to live in Hawaii. Hawaii has two things that I love: the waves and the weather. I love surfing, and everybody knows that in Hawaii are the best waves in the whole world. Hawaii’s climate is typical for the tropics, but the temperature and humidity aren’t so high because of trade winds from the east. The weather is perfect! I mean, it is hot and doesn’t rain so much. I like hot weather, and I hate winter.

As I said before, I love surfing, and this is the main reason why I would live in Hawaii. I would like to move to Oahu, the biggest island in Hawaii. Oahu has good break points, like pipeline. Writing this I remember tale that every young surfer knew in Zarautz, the tale John John´s tale. John John was (is) a surfer of my age that didn’t go to school because he wanted to surf. It was said that her mother taught him, and that he used to surf all the day.

Now I know that John John exists. John John Florence is one of the best junior surfers in the world. He lives near pipeline, and he knows it very well. I think I will never surf there because it is very dangerous. A lot of surfers and photographers have died after hitting the reef.

Hawaii is a perfect place to live: good waves, good weather and better beaches. What more do you want?
