Director Ron Howard teams with Steve Martin and all-star cast to create a hilarious, touching and unforgettable portrait of life's most rewarding occupation: Parenthood. The Buckman's are a modern-day family facing the age-old dilemma of trying to raise children the "right" way. At the centre of the storm is Gil (Martin), who manages to keep his unique sense of humour while attempting to maintain a successful career and be a loving husband and parent, all at the same time. As Gil and the rest of the Buckman's discover, being the "perfect" parent often means just letting children be themselves. (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)
