Parenthood (1989)
8/10
Hilarious, yet strangely realistic and touching
31 December 2020
Parenthood is a great comedy film with some emotional moments and brings up serious issues. It's a delight to see both a young Joaquin Phoenix and Keanu Reeves here and Steve Martin, along with Rick Moranis are both fantastic to watch. Furthermore, the children (along with Joaquin Phoenix) are among the best child actors I've ever seen and definitely deserve credit for playing such complex roles.

Plot wise it's quite basic but has a good tempo, the best scene was the party scene with Steve Martin up to his usual antics. Ron Howard did a good job directing.

8/10: Good fun with a lot of hard hitting messages about family
