Wow! I already liked Dax Shepard before watching this movie. He really does shine on Parenthood. The chemistry between Kristen Bell and he was great. Kristen Bell absolutely excelled in her role. Tom Arnold was over the top as Shepard's inept US Marshal handler but, we expect that from him. That's what makes watching Tom, fun. Micheal Rosenbaum was great as Kristen's jealous ex boyfriend. I haven't seen him in anything since he portrayed Lex Luthor on Smallville. Bradley Cooper turned in his usual fine work as the villain that's attempting to get revenge on Dax Shepard for testifying against him. Joy Bryant was a good addition although she wasn't given enough lines or action. Beau Bridges. Let me repeat that, Beau Bridges. I liked watching him meet his son (Dax) at the door with a right overhand to the jaw. Watching him pond on Bradley Cooper's henchman was also fun. I know I'm not articulating this very well. The movie was lot of fun and my girlfriend and I both enjoyed it, immensely.
