Mixed family in “Me and You and Everyone We Know”
CVK
I haven’t seen this film yet, but it seems to fall into the “yes we’re mixed but why even mention it because it doesn’t matter to the story” category, which as you know we love here at MMW because it shows that mixed people and families are (gasp!) normal. Richard is a white dad of two mixed-looking sons. Here’s a review from RollingStone.com:
Performance artist Miranda July hits a grand slam as the writer, director and star of her first film. It’s a moonbeam romance laced with startling wit and gravity. July plays Christine, a video artist who earns money by driving an elder-cab and sees shoe salesman Richard (John Hawkes) as relationship material, even though he set his hand on fire when his wife left him. Richard has two sons: Robby (Brandon Ratcliff), 7, who chats up adult women on the Internet using his own personal fixation with poop as a lure, and Peter (Miles Thompson), 14, who lets two older girls fellate his penis in a blow-job competition.

This is a great movie - bizarre and easy to relate to in the same moment!
