They touch upon his parents, but it's in passing.
The actual plot of the movie is entertaining, but fairly predictable ("fairly" gets upgraded to "extremely" if you've ever read a comic book or watched an anime). What really wins is Downy Jr.'s portrayal of Stark. He does such a good job of playing that character, and making him seem real. So if you want an awesome performance of an equally awesome comic book hero (alcoholic playboy genius millionaire ftw) with a bunch of explosions and shiny graphics -- which you all should -- go see Iron Man.
