Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Susan S This film really explores the roles that children and fathers are placed in after divorce. It is far more than a comedy as it explores some of the situations and feelings that are present in the divorced family that includes kids. This is a truly likable, wonderfully enjoyable, fun movie with enough comedy to make it laughable, but enough perspective to make a someone examine the roles of a family before and after divorce. This movie is a true keeper for our family. We watch it about 3 times a year. Highly recommended in my opinion.

jrsmitty Best line of the movie is when Susan (Amy Brenneman) says to Dave (after he comments that his new girlfriend is good with the kids,) "if it meant that you might get laid, you'd let Hannibal Lector be their nanny..." The whole movie has great lines like this one! Hilarious! I love this movie. Saw it when it came out as a college student and ten years later it still cracks me up. I think that although there is a lot of hard truth in this movie regarding divorce in America, it is a work of comedy genius. Also neat to see how some of these actors/actresses have evolved over time. It also has a great soundtrack. Love Ben Taylor's version of "I will," better than The Beatles!

mojo2004 I loved this movie from the start and I still love it.Fifty times no make that 100 times beter than "Parenthood" it had good actors that matched their character's personalities to me.I'm a huge fan of Mathew Modine but the two best actors were Randy Quaid and Janeane Garofalo.Both were adorable and funny.All the kids were good too and kudos to Paul Rieser for a heartwarming performance with screen daughter Eliza Dushku.One bad thing-the pairing of the best friend with his buddy's ex-wife.Bull! They didn't have to go there.I bought this movie and I can watch it everyday.Funny,sweet, and I'm sure all families of divorce wish it was as easy as the movie made it.9/10 stars

dolphincop Randy Quaid at his comedic best, not to mention emotional roller coaster performances by Matthew Modine, Paul Riser, Janene Garafalo and Eliza Dushku. Quickly ranking in my top ten comedies. In addition, the heartfelt performances of the actors who portray the good, bad and ugly of divorce and all it brings to the proverbial table. This movie should be mandatory for anyone considering divorce.Also, Eliza Dushku's first very good performance should be noted as she is to become one of Hollywood's leading ladies in the near future.
