The CinePearl Take

Steve Martin anchors the film with a wonderfully flawed yet loving father who navigates the absurdities of parenting without ever feeling cartoonish. The pacing swings effortlessly between bustling household mayhem and quieter, introspective moments, allowing the film’s central theme—how love endures amid imperfection—to resonate. Rick Moranis shines in a surprisingly poignant supporting turn, reminding us that every family member carries their own secret burdens.
