Welcome to week two of Rich Moranis month here at Movies that Make Us
and we are discussing the 1989 film Parenthood starring Rick Moranis,
Steve Martin, and Dianne Wiest, Keanu Reeves and Joaquin Phoenix.
The film follows multiple families and how they deal with raising children
and overcoming the obstacles live throws their way. Much of the film is
based on the family and parenting experiences of director Ron Howard,
Producer Brian Grazer, and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babloo Mandel
who had 17 kids between them. A comedy with heart that isn’t afraid to dive
into some difficult subjects that’s worth either viewing for the first time, or
revisiting again.
What are your thoughts on the film? Next week, we are closing out Rick
Moranis February with the screwball comedy Spaceballs. As always, you
can reach us at podcast@moviesthatmakeus.com.
