it's part of being human . . .
i loved the movie. gosh, it was made in 1989 and it's 2005 and i remember it well. an unplanned pregnancy, they talked about the roller coaster of life and to just go with the flow. take whatever life brings your way and instead of whining about not being in control, learn to look on the positive side of it. as with tom hulce, it just shows us that some things can't or won't ever get better. love doesn't conquer all. we have to accept that too. he had to let go. i saw unconditional love from that parent. a part of him died when tom walked out of his life. when one door shut, another door opened when tom left his son with him. diane weist had to let go. her youngest son was growing up and he was going through changes that she couldn't help him with. her older son got a girl pregnant. she decided to accept it and be a part of it. she didn't have anyone in her life. that left her alone. gosh, there was SO much in this story. i wouldn't say the families were dysfunctional. there were just issues and everybody worked their way through them. dysfunctional is beating on your kids, being drunk, kids being disrespectful and out of control, etc. these were very loving families. in one way or another, the parents all had to let go of something, but they got something else out of doing that. being a parent can be painful, but it's also the best thing that ever can happen to a person. i loved the movie. i think it was before its time.
Not cool
I really like this movie, but buying it on DVD is misleading. This movie has not offically come out on DVD so all of these "DVDs" are copies and mine dose not work at all in my DVD player!
Nice pictures, I can actually see your face in this one.
Ron Howards film tugs at the heart, and tugs hard. Every one knows someone in their family that may be a little off or miss guided. This film has everything, laughs, sadness, happiness, closeness, and family issues. Ron Howard is a genious, by far his best work to date. Steve Martin is fantastic in his role and finally breaks out from films like The Jerk, and The Lonley Guy, (which I love), but he shows his talents in this. A father trying to do his best, saves the day at his boys b-day party, and goes crazy when his son makes a game winning catch. Great cast, Keanu Reeves, Joaquin Phoenix, Dianne Wiest, Mary Steenburgen, and more. The film never slows, the laughs never end, and the ending is very touching. A fantastic film. Thanks Ron, (Opie). Universal needs to remaster this, offer widescreen, dts sound, and some extras. Its a shame this great film is on such a barebones disc.
