Episode Details

How rare is it for a movie to serve as a primer on how to both BE and NOT BE a Dad? This film is the "Scared Straight" of Dad movies.

Also Ted Kramer is a lousy person who is capable of great things. Or a great person who does a lot of lousy things. Is it any wonder that Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar? Meryl Streep, Jane Alexander, and Justin Henry all nail everything that can be nailed in Robert Benton's tastefully-directed tale of a dude learning to be less shitty, 1979's KRAMER VS. KRAMER.
