Title: I Loved This One!
Review: This is an episodic yarn of one family(and I mean all the relatives too! )and the trials and tribulations of raising children.I am single,31 and have no kids so maybe I cannot directly relate, but this is a heartwarming story that left me with lumps in my throat and tears in my eyes. Ensemble acting is wonderful with Jason Robards(who looks like he could be Martin's father in real-life!)as the patriarch commenting that "you never cross the goal line......" The film works on 2 levels. There is some on target comedy(especially in one fantasy sequence)and there are some genuine serious scenes that deal with real life problems. It is a perfect mix that results in one heckuva ride. I shall close by listing the cast because a good cast is worth repeating:Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, Diane Wiest, Rick Moranis, Harley Jane Kozak, Jason Robards, Thomas Hulce, Leaf Phoenix,Martha Plimpton,and Dennis Dugan(I probably forgot someone, and Oh yes that is Ronny's bro in little league scene!)
Is the review positive or negative?
