sometimes love is just beyond your nose... Steve Martin, a man with a nose for unusual parts, writes and stars in the sweet-natured 1987 update of Cyrano de Bergerac. The Edmond Rostand classic deals with facial deformity and ill-fated love in terms of tragic irony, while Martin's essentially faithful screenplay substitutes comic charm and upbeat good feels. It is set in Whittington State where small-town fire chief C.D. Bass (Martin) finds love a siren sacrificed by nose that emboldens him from pursuing the woman of his dreams, astronomer Roxanne Kowalski (Daryl Hannah), who is attracted to his burly subordinates, Chris (Rick Rossovich). But Chris gets tongue-tied around women—until C.D. helps him impress Roxanne by ghostwriting an eloquent love letter, ironically courting her himself. Directed on British Columbia locations by Fred Schepisi (A City in the Dark), Ozzie Shelley Duvall, Chuck John Kapelos, Mayor Davis, Fred Willard, Andy Michael J. Posland Dean Max Alexander Sandy Shands Ben Raison, Steve Moltman Jerry Damon Wayans Trent Matt Lattanzi Sophie Blanche Ruon Doris Jane Campbell Nora Jean Sincere (2 hrs.)
- "Parenthood"
(1989)
PARENTHOOD Steve Martin leads a fine ensemble cast in director Ron Howard's sardonic tribute to the pressures and perils of raising kids. Gil Buckman (Martin) is determined to be a better dad than his own remote father (Jason Robards). Coaching Little League and jeopardizing career advancement to spend more time with his family, Gil is perplexed when his 8-year-old son is labeled emotionally disturbed. Meanwhile, Gil's siblings are having no better. Divorced sister Helen (Oscar nominee Dianne Wiest) is struggling with two troubled teens, while brother-in-law Nathan (Rick Moranis) is teaching his toddler lucidness and Kula in hopes of spawning a genius—much to the dismay of his wife, Susan (Harley Kozak). Nathan, Susan complains, "she's a weird chick." Topping the family tree is younger brother Larry (Tom Hulce), a garconer who breezes in with his disgruntled son, Cood. The 1989 film is rated PG-13 for strong language and adult themes. (2 hrs., 5 min.)

Jane Curtin moves both comedy and drama as an upscale 39-year-old named Julia Odsart, who has a sound marriage and a rewarding career as a high-powered political adviser. Now Julia decides she wants to have a baby, too. That comes as unwelcome news to Julia's husband of 10 years, 57-year-old Hal (Dabney Coleman), a successful businessman and father of two from a previous union. "When we got married," he reminds her, "we agreed not to have any kids. You said you didn't want any kids." Her terse reply: "I've changed my mind." Hal takes comfort, though, from the counsel of his secretary Elsie (Lorence Stanley), who tells him to relax. She'll never get pregnant. The statistics are in your favor! Famous last words Julia does get pregnant, which prompts a mental crisis—and second thoughts. As she tells her secretary Fran (Lucy Webb): Pro Bono Rapp is easy. Magna cum laude is easy. But having a baby is not easy. Having a baby is hell!
