Movie Haiku:Noble failure. What starts as broad family comedy (two kids raised by Lesbians) deteriorates badly after the siblings track down the donor of the sperm used to impregnate both Moms. Excellent performances thru-out, but despite Bening''s high wire acting, her character isn''t given enough depth to hold up her end of the complex triangle.
