Classic Steve Martin but Keanu Reeves steals the movie. Very funny and grows with you as you age.

An 80s classic w/ a full star lineup. A family and all of their individual and collective woes and wins. I enjoyed it immensely.

Super relatable (since I have two girls). Reminds you that most parents are just doing their best. Good blend of drama and humor.

Part comedy, part drama that shows multiple sides of a complex subject and how it affects the children
