The Story

Nic and Jules (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) are married and share a cozy suburban Southern California home with their teenage children, Joni and Laser (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson). Nic and Jules -- or, when referred to jointly by Joni, "Moms" -- gave birth to and raised their children, and built a family life for the four of them. As Joni prepares to leave for college, 15-year-old Laser presses her for a big favor. He wants Joni, now 18, to help him find their biological father; the two teenagers were conceived by artificial insemination.

妮克（安妮特•贝宁饰）和朱尔斯（朱莉安•摩尔饰）是一对已婚同性伴侣，在加利福尼亚南部的郊区拥有一个惬意的小家，家中还有两个正处于青春期的孩子——乔妮（米娅•华希科沃斯卡饰）和莱塞（乔什•哈切森饰）。妮克和朱尔斯生育了这两个孩子，抚养他们长大，共同组建了这个四口之家；每当乔妮提起她们两个，会称她们为“母亲们”。乔妮准备离开家去上大学的时候，15岁的莱塞非得要她帮个忙。他想要已经18岁的乔妮帮助他找到两个人的生身父亲；他们俩是母亲们通过人工授精的方式孕育的。

Against her better judgment, Joni honors her brother's request and manages to make contact with "bio-dad" Paul (Mark Ruffalo), an easygoing restaurateur. The kids find themselves drawn to the confirmed bachelor's footloose style -- especially in contrast to Nic, a principled doctor who has long established their house rules. Jules, who has been looking to start a new career in landscaping, also strikes up a rapport with Paul. As Paul comes into the lives of the forthright four, an unexpected new chapter begins for them as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined.

乔妮虽然有所顾虑，但还是答应了弟弟的请求，想方设法地联系到了他们生物学意义上的父亲——保罗（马克•鲁弗洛饰）。保罗是个生性懒散的餐馆老板；这个单身汉过惯了单身生活，他无拘无束的作风赢得了孩子们的好感，也与妮克的性格形成了鲜明的对比。妮克是一名医生，她的原则性很强，一直以来都是家庭规则的制定者；而朱尔斯正在找一份景观设计方面的新工作，她和保罗之间也逐渐建立起融洽的关系。保罗介入这个作风直率的四口之家后，他们的家庭关系被一次又一次地改写，他们的人生也因此出人意料地揭开了新篇章。
