It makes sense that the 1989 film Parenthood was eventually adapted for television, and that the show became such a remarkable success. The movie’s premise is remarkably simple: What if you were a parent just trying to make ends meet? What allowed the show to really work, though, was first unlocked by the movie. Both have a remarkably sentimental, saccharine quality that, when all is said and done, feels fairly profound.
It features one of the great Steve Martin performances Parenthood Official Trailer #1 - Steve Martin Movie Steve Martin has long been regarded as one of the great comedians of his or any era, but his career as a leading man proved that he was a fairly flexible star. And Martin’s Gil is not an exceptionally funny man, although he does have his moments.
Of course, Parenthood also delights in showcasing the day-to-day stress of being a parent, knowing that you’re responsible for another human being and feeling confident that you don’t even have control of yourself. At the same time, the movie acknowledges the special magic that can come from that responsibility, and from loving someone else more than yourself.
It’s multigenerational in a way that works Although the primary focus of Parenthood is the trials of four middle-aged parents trying to figure out how to deal with their kids, the movie’s title also applies to these siblings’ relationship to their own parents. Jason Robards, who plays their father, is particularly crucial here, reminding us that parenting does not end when a child has children of their own.
