Critic Reviews of "Parenthood"
Desmond Ryan Philadelphia InquirerJuly 31, 2013The fulcrum of the film is Martin. It's an adventurous and successful stroke of casting that takes advantage of what the audience expects from him.
Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago ReaderJuly 31, 2013This movie has its share of laughs, but it's also Ron Howard's most personal film, and clearly his most ambitious.
Gene Siskel Chicago TribuneJuly 31, 2013Parenthood easily could have focused exclusively on yuppie parents and their kids; however, the script by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel is more sophisticated than that, remembering that every parent is still a child too.
Sheila Benson Los Angeles TimesJuly 31, 2013The remaining cast, young, old and in-between, is lovely.
Dave Kehr Chicago TribuneJuly 31, 2013With Parenthood, Howard as a director has discovered weight, but not gravity. For all of its admirable seriousness, the film finally floats away.
Jay Boyar Orlando SentinelJuly 31, 2013There's not a scene in Parenthood that isn't involving: The actors keep reaching into themselves and coming up with gold.
Dennis King Tulsa WorldAugust 13, 2014It's hard to imagine a theme more universal and filled with human pitfalls than parenthood. And it's hard to imagine a movie treatment of that theme more humane and filled with gentle sympathy than director Ron Howard's Parenthood.
Paul M. Bradshaw Total FilmJuly 31, 2013Ambitiously probing every anxiety-ridden corner of the suburban mum-and-dad experience, some of its interconnecting story strands work better than others.
Gary Thompson Philadelphia Daily NewsJuly 31, 2013Parenthood gets a lot of emotional mileage out of kiddie antics, but Howard has, thankfully, given us a little more.
Candice Russell South Florida Sun-SentinelJuly 31, 2013As Parenthood reveals within its charming, two-hour running time, the pitfalls and quandaries of child-rearing are universal -- and the joys and the heartaches remain lifelong concerns.
John Ferguson Radio TimesJuly 31, 2013This feel-good family ensemble piece from director Ron Howard manages to avoid being oversentimental, and the result is an affectionate, leisurely comedy about the joys (and otherwise) of bringing up children.
David Sterritt Christian Science MonitorJuly 31, 2013There are good jokes and funny observations about middle-class life. The picture is too long and predictable, though.
