  • In the late 80s, audiences thought they'd seen it all when it came to ensenble comedy troups brinign us irreverent films that ticked our funny bones. But in 1989, Ron Howard brought us a comedy drama that would resonate with the youth of the 80s, as well as the parents of those children and the struggles of raising them while still sort of raising yourself. Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, Tom Hulce, Martha Pimpton and even a young Keanu Reeves. The Buckman family dynamic is what sells the movie and the heart and sold is what has made it a classic comedy.

    Parenthood is one of Ron Howard’s more underrated movies since it doesn’t get brought up in conversation as much as Backdraft, Ransom, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, and Cinderella Man

      @@Omar-wq9dz Agreed, it's a shame that it's never included as being one of Howard's best films, but I really enjoyed it a lot.

      Surprisingly good film for being a familiar trope, family movies.

      Same goes for John Hughes and she’s having a baby. It’s always kind of pushed to the side but as time goes on I find myself liking it more than the teen comedies.

    Steve Martin was hilarious in Parenthood.

    Speaking of the cast, another Ron Howard movie with a great ensemble is The Paper. It’s one of his more under appreciated films, and stars Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Robert Duvall, Glenn Close, Randy Quaid, and a small role with Jason Alexander

      The Paper and Parenthood are my two favorite films Ron Howard directed. I remember seeing both in the theater. Summer of '89 was a great summer for movies!

    You have to feel sorry for Cool, for being abandoned by his dad. But then again, he's better off with his loving grandparents, and extended family.

    • @spaceodds1985

      The Cool storyline was Robards’ character redemption. It was his second chance after being a hard working absentee dad

      Yeah Tom Hulces character was a real screw up but like you said, he was better off with his grandparents.

    I thought it was a funny movie as a kid but shit man that scene where Steve Martin gets advice from Jason Robards and he talks about how being a parent never stops. The worrying never stops reeeeaaaaally hits home for me now as a new father.
    It is so true, you just are constantly worrying, even about the most innocuous things. Not out of any sort of obligation, a contact is an obligation. But you worry and care out of love and hope that this person you brought into the world will be ok.
    Great for a double feature with Shes having a Baby.

  • @virgil3241
    @virgil3241 2 месяца назад +11

    As a parent of 3 adult kids, you never stop worrying about your kids. Are my kids all doing well, yes. But you never stop being a parent. I still remember Keanu Reeve line to this day after 30 plus years. You need a license to drive a car, but any douchbag can be a dad

    • @D-Fens_1632
      @D-Fens_1632 2 месяца назад

      My mom would always nod and say "yep" during that scene. Incidentally her name is also Helen, also had two kids, older daughter younger son, and her husband ran off to have a party. But I never carried a grocery bag of smut with me everywhere and my sister didn't get pregnant in high school.

    I LOVE this movie! It has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. As a parent now, I appreciate it in an entirely new way. And I put this on whenever I get too stressed about my parenting decisions. It helps remind me we're all just doing g our best and that's the you can do for your kids. ❤
    (Also, the TV show from the 2000's is great too!)

    I love when grandpa says that worrying as a parent never ends. "There is no endzone, you never cross the goal line." It's both beautiful and accurate way to describe parenthood. ❤

  • @TheNameisPlissken1981
    @TheNameisPlissken1981 2 месяца назад +5

    You're missing the best line in the film! Grandma tells her roller-coaster story, then she says she'll wait for the family outside in the car. After Mary calls her wise, Steve Martin says "Oh, yeah. If she's so wise, why is she sitting in the neighbor's car?"

    • @suchanhachan
      @suchanhachan 2 месяца назад +2

      That is a great line among so many in this movie, but if I may submit my candidate for best line it has to be when they're driving and his wife tries to "ease his tension" causing him to have an accident. The police officer asks, "How did this happen?" and he turns to his wife and says, "Show him, honey..."

    • @D-Fens_1632
      @D-Fens_1632 2 месяца назад +1

      "It sure was!"
      "One of those men reminds me of your grandfather."
      Grandma got all the best lines.

    Steve Martin/Gil reminds me so much of my dad growing up. He was a very present dad while being the main breadwinner and even though he was stressed/overwhelmed at times he never let me and my siblings know it. Also had a very similar sense of humor and wit. Even though I’m not a parent yet this movie holds a very special place of my heart cause it really gives adult me a new perspective on my own dad

    A kid I went to high school with was an extra in the movie. When Kevin is freaking out about losing his retainer it's the boy with the blond skater haircut right behind him who spins around. He dined for weeks off that appearance.

    My dad and I just watched Parenthood a week ago. I have to say, it’s probably one of Ron’s best films. It’s very charming, sweet, the characters are great, and the performances from Steve and the rest of the cast were immensely good.

    I ADORE Ron Howard, but I don't like this one. It upsets me. Also, I'm a father to 3 girls (14, 14, and 5). Being a parent isn't nearly as hard as this movie makes it out to be. They're just all shitty parents.

    • @Zumcho
      @Zumcho Месяц назад +1

      14, 14 and 5? Sounds like they haven't lived long enough to give you hell yet lol. Just kidding.
      I think the only shitty parent in this movie was Larry and maybe the grandpa. But everyone else was just doing their best.
