7/10
Effective Comedy-Drama

Warning: Spoilers
Very effective comedy-drama from ace director Ron Howard about being a parent. The movie examines its subject from all angles and covers 'children' from toddlers to teens to full grown adults.

Our main parents are the 'Buckmans', played by Steve Martin and Mary Steenburgen, and their story is supported by many subplots involving other members of the family. The cast are great, and very funny, as they take us on the roller coaster ride of "Parenthood".

Simply scripted, the film raises many laughs and quite a few valid points. Just ask anyone, "Parenthood" is a lot of fun.

PS Also stars Dianne Wiest, Rick Moranis, Tom Hulce, Keanu Reeves, Martha Plimpton, Jason Robards and Leaf Phoenix.
