Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Even being the most sensitive parent, the film reminds us, has its limits. No matter how hard you try, you can't live your children's lives for them.
Fresh: It's a shock, and a welcome one, to see Steve Martin cast against type as a doting dad. Martin's nippy wit continually lifts this movie above the swamp of sentiment.
Fresh: There is something brave and original about piling up most of our worst parental nightmares in one movie and then daring to make a midsummer comedy out of them. It really shouldn't work, but it does.
Fresh: An ambitious, keenly observed, and often very funny look at one of life's most daunting passages...
Customer Reviews
Excellent film.
I forgot how good this movie was until I watched it again tonight. It captures a realistic (and often very funny!) view of family. It is one of Steve Martin's best films.
Good movie
I loved this movie. It shows how difficult a marriage or PARETNHOOD can be
One of my favorite movies...
GREAT movie!! There are so many great lines in this movie. Grandma's roller coaster story is the BEST!! A must see for anyone with kids or about to have kids.
