Pregnancy and Baby Video Guide

This is a classic film for parents and non-parents alike. Starring Steve Martin and a wonderful – and large – supporting cast (including Mary Steenburgen, Dianne Wiest, Rick Moranis, Tom Hulce, Keanu Reeves, Martha Plimpton, and Joaquin Phoenix), this movie shows the pain and joy of parenting at various stages of life: infancy, childhood, the teenage years – right through adulthood and grandparenthood. Directed by Ron Howard, Parenthood is not to be missed!

Starring Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore, Nine Months is a comedy about a happily unmarried couple who find themselves pregnant. The father-to-be finds he isn't ready to grow up enough to be a dad, while the mother-to-be finds she's more than ready for the changes parenthood will bring. With a little help from Tom Arnold and Joan Cusack, a wacky married couple with kids, the two struggle to reach common ground.

Steve Martin reprises his role from Father of the Bride as George Banks – but this time, it's not a wedding he has to struggle with, it's his newly married daughter's pregnancy... and, surprise surprise, his wife (Diane Keaton) manages to unexpectedly get pregnant, too. Gives "midlife crisis" a whole new meaning. While they do a fairly decent job of presenting pregnancy, the labor and delivery scenes are, as is typical, exaggerated – and because of the dual pregnancies, the hospital scenes are even more over-the-top than usual. And if you can forgive the notion of building a new wing on the house to make a nursery, you'll probably enjoy the gentle humor – and great cast – this film offers.
