This is one of the films that Robin Williams did during the Nineties and did not survive the test of time. The actor had a long career, with dozens of films, but several of these little comedies are now forgotten. The movie is not bad, but at the time it was a box office failure and the TV's and video stores ended up not betting too much on it, which contributed to make it a forgotten work today.The script is simple: when a young teenager runs away from home because of a girl, her mother decides to call two former boyfriends by telling them, and warning that any of them may be the child's father. And so creates a hilarious confusion, in which the two potential daddies are rushing to help the rebellious teenager who, in fact, is in trouble but does not want the help of anyone.The movie is not as bad as many people say. There is decidedly quality material here, with good moments of humor and situational jokes, in which Williams shows what it's worth. Next to him is Billy Crystal, another comic actor with talent, although less known. The way they both relate, initially tense and later collaborative, is the core of the whole film and gives rise to lots of comic situations. Nastassja Kinski and Julia Louis-Dreyfus also enter this film, but their characters are of lesser relevance and this film will not be particularly notable for any of them. Charlie Hofheimer gave life to the young fugitive, and is as good as he could be, without particularly shining.Observing well, I understand why everyone criticized this film so hard. It is not brilliant, nor does it make you laugh with laughter. Its a funny comedy, sentimental and focused on the passing of some positive moral ideas about the family. Seeing the film under this prism improves it, but will never be a film for more than one or two views.

Fathers Day is a good movie with a well written storyline and a fantastic comedic cast.The movie certainly could have been a lot better,Robin Williams and Billy Crystal were already a big comedic dou before this came out and it is a bit of a disappointment if you're a fan of both actors.Crystal and Williams are certainly the highlight however,you can feel the chemistry and the friendship between both of then the minute they meet,and the scenes where they clearly get to improvise their lines are of course the best.Its a very average comedy and certainly had much more potential but sadly didn't deliver as well as it could have,but Fathers Day is an enjoyable movie that packs in many laughs and I would recommend it as a short and sweet film if you ever see it on television. A woman convinces two men to go looking for her son by telling both of them they're the father. Best Performance: Robin Williams Worst Performance: Dennis Burkley

If any of you have seen "Les Comperes" you know what I an talking about. This movie is just an absolute joke. Sure the big name talents make it seem like a great movie, but all in all it's just a waste of time. The storyline just doesn't seem as great. A kid runs away to follow a band. At least "Les Comperes" was funny. This was just *sighs* boring. Besides, Gerard Depardieu kicked the crap out of Francois Pignon so much it was just hilarious. This was just a watered down version of a pretty good French comedy. For once the French have done something better than us. It is a sign of things to come. Soon the U.S. will just bow down to the French as the better ones in movie making. Tis a shame!!!!!

Robin Williams and Billy Crystal are two of the funniest comedians of their generation, and they combine forces for this comedy, about two fathers who go searching for their respective suns who ran away. Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, and Natasha Kinski. I went to see this movie, appropriately enough, with my father. The movie was alright, but considering the talent involved this movie should have been much funnier. The two just seem to be sleepwalking through a badly done script. In this movie they play two fathers trying to track down their respective sons, who have run away together. While it may not be the most original the two should have been able to be funny enough to make this movie work. Unfortunately these two men are above these roles. The two have done far funnier roles separately, and it is too bad, that these two comedians get together so rarely on screen, and it is even more unfortunate this collaboration falls so short. Don't get me wrong this isn't a bad movie, and it does have some good moments, but it could have been funnier. Watch for an appearance by Mel Gibson in an interesting role.
