| The Pacifier - Despite the star power of Vin Diesel, this is still a forgettable and silly single-concept comedy. However, students enjoy it, and a well-chosen excerpt can highlight stereotypes about male/female roles and begin a discussion about a Christian perspective on roles in the famliy. |  |

Parenthood - Hard to believe that this engaging ensemble comedy dates back to the 1980s, or that the list of stars includes Keanu Reeves. A great introduction to any unit on the family. it has spawned a 2010 TV series (see below). "Anyone who's a parent will find themselves in this film. We see the lives of four different siblings (two brothers, two sisters) and how they bring up their children... Brilliantly observed, very funny, wonderfully touching - a gem. Essential viewing for anyone who wants to get an insight into how families really work." |

Parenthood (2010 TV series) - "A heartfelt and thought-provoking series, Parenthood follows four grown siblings of the far-from-perfect Braverman clan as they try to balance kids and careers, dreams and commitments and romance . . . or a total lack thereof. Hailed as "hilarious and heartbreaking" by In Touch Weekly and "in a class of its own" by the Los Angeles Times." |
