Review – Parenthood

This is part Steve Martin comedy and part soap opera about the perils of the title subject. The ensemble cast makes its way through the panoply of things that can go wrong in the course of raising children (and some of the things that can go right as well). When the script stays light and funny, this is a reasonably clever bit of entertainment. Point-making, however, is as frequent as it is heavy-handed. Mildly amusing
