I liked Fathers' Day. It made me laugh. It's based on a very contrived French play, story so...well I think it took a lot of creativity to build the situations. Comedic exaggeration, physical stuff, and the tender ending, though it didn't get me to cry like Planes, Trains and Automobiles did make a good point. I relate to the whole "not knowing your father issue" and having accepted it find this movie tickles my absurd funny bone. Humorous treatments of serious issues offend some but this movie can get people talking and that's a good thing. I also like the fact that well know actors were put alongside a new actor, the one playing the young son. He did a great job portraying the ungrateful child.... Good Idea overall...
