Parenthood
My whole life is "I have to."
Steve Martin, I was not familiar with your game — nor, honestly was I familiar with the fact that the maudlin NBC dramedy which shares a name with this film was based off of a film, let alone a film this good.
There's a lot to like about this film, which resists a lot of the broad familial caricatures that I associate with 80s pop culture. That's not to say that there aren't broad moments — in fact, I think the comedy aged less gracefully for me than the drama. But the whole thing still works and feels modern, largely because it is so thoroughly grounded in the banality and honesty of the characters and their plights.
The script sanctifies nobody and only condemns one character, Larry, who seems almost like a bit of a moralistic escape valve, an object against which all can be compared and found at least relatively humanly.
But the soul of the thing is Steve, who is not perfect, but is lucky, and ends the film knowing both of those are true.
