- perfect
“My
whole life is have to." - Gil Buckman
Why
watch this? ... it's great film about a normal family with its
traumas, issues and events.
Plot Summary:
The film follows the chaotic and often humorous lives of the
Buckman family, showcasing the joys and tribulations across
multiple generations as they navigate the complexities of
raising children. The film explores various parenting styles and
the challenges each family member faces, including career
pressure, marital difficulties, and the struggle to understand
and guide their children through different stages of life.
Dad's Preview:
Steve Martin plays an excellent father in many flicks.
Ironically, in
real-life he bore no children. This film touches on the things that
parents do to deal with "family things"
that are often out of their control: a child who lacks confidence; an
adult
son who always makes bad decisions; parents who obsess with
perfection. Those are serious topics, and Parenthood covers them
in a way that makes you laugh. You'll enjoy the warm performances from a
stellar all-star cast.
