Parenthood
It could happen to you.
Directed by Ron Howard
Produced by Universal Pictures, Imagine Entertainment
A warm, ensemble family comedy-drama that finds humor and heart in the messy, universal struggles of parenthood and multigenerational kinship.
The story of the Buckman family and friends, attempting to bring up their children. They suffer/enjoy all the events that occur: estranged relatives, the 'black sheep' of the family, the eccentrics, the skeletons in the closet, and the rebellious teenagers.
