The story of the Buckman family and friends, attempting to bring up their children. They suffer/enjoy all the events that occur: estranged relatives, the 'black sheep' of the family, the eccentrics, the skeletons in the closet, and the rebellious teenagers.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Parenthood' (1989) is a family dramedy focusing on intergenerational relationships throughout the year. While it deals with themes common to Christmas movies (family connection, dealing with eccentric relatives), there is no evidence that the narrative is set during the Christmas season or that the holiday significantly drives the plot or resolution. It fails to meet the criteria for a Christmas movie."
