The current NBC series is a very good version of this 1989 movie, but this original film, directed by Ron Howard, has plenty of charm to spare of its own. Steve Martin stars as a concerned father who agonizes a bit too much – but in ways that are both humorously and uncomfortably empathic. The cast is as deep as it is strong, and so is the script. Co-stars include Mary Steenburgen, Dianne Wiest, Keanu Reeves, Jason Robards and Rick Moranis.
