NBC's current TV series drew its inspiration from this 1989 film that runs 124 minutes and is not to be confused with a few other films of the same name. I had to take 1 star off because of certain plot lines that I consider not worth glamorizing due to my opposition of parts of them.That said,Director Ron Howard slowly builds a comedy that begins to escalate,literary,into a car wreck,TWICE, and you can't look a way as you laugh.You may not agree with the ending premise of birth trumps personnel unhappiness but its a compelling dissertation with a A+ cast headed by Steve Martin and underutilized Tom Hulce. Next to Martins character I found Dianne Wiest's the most interesting and and the best line in the film,"You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father. 'is delivered by Keanu Reeves,hurtful line on some levels but oh so true on others. The movie is full of great snappy sarcastic dialogue.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.
The Buckman family is a midwestern family all dealing with their lives: estranged relatives, raising children, pressures of the job, and learning to be a good parent and spouse.
