Fortunately this wasn't the definitive musing on the topic of parenthood because I don't know if I could live without Bad Moms.

Ron Howard has assembled a great ensemble cast (look out for a young Joaquin Phoenix and Keanu Reeves) for this multi-layered relationship dramedy. Even twenty years later, the themes ring true, and while this isn't a particularly sprawling and powerful film, it works pretty well. Rather than suffering through something recent like "The Family Stone," this late 80s film showcases some funny and genuinely heartfelt moments revolving around an extended family.

Everything is tied up and solved in the end with a typical Ron Howard bow, but the ride is enjoyable enough. Steve Martin is the lynch pin of the film, but impressive performances come from Robards and Wiest. Most importantly, however, is Joaquin Phoenix's haircut. The film would fall apart without that gem.

I think this is one of the more underated movies from its time period. A lot of funny moments. It's not gutbuster but parts of it feel very honest and real. One of the few roles that perfectly cast Keanu Reeves (along with I Love You to Death).
