Like most reunions, it intersperses the horror of recognition with effortfully winsome gestures at nostalgia. Life, along a path strewn with dwindling sequels, has treated cast and characters alike with different degrees of kindness. Parenthood’s a drag for long-married sweethearts Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), who dignify the nominally uproarious opening sequence with solo displays of masturbation. You wonder how many gym socks Jim has got through by now, and whether it’s a joke that particularly merited repeating.
Plenty don’t. If the acting choices of Tara Reid ever since the first Pie make her very appearance a cruel punchline, the obligatory cameos for such peripheral cast members as Natasha Lyonne and Chris Owen serve merely to clog proceedings up. The movie only flies – and it does have its disarming moments – when the comic timing of the more seasoned players is allowed to motor scenes along.
