It's not as good as it used to be; now, too many personal stories of the characters are woven in, and there is less of the professional work. I continue to miss Linda Hunt and wonder why they made her disappear. She is a unique character that made the show much more interesting.

This movie is great in highlighting the apprehensions and fears of being a dad. It's strengthened by including a diverse group of dads from different cultures and by including heartwarmingly hilarious scenes along with serious cases, like the child born with a heart defect. Having comedians talk about their experiences as dads is a novel inclusion, and Bryce Dallas Howard's interviewing is low-key and on target. This film--along with others--should be shown to high school students, who get virtually no education in tending to our most important natural resource.
