Watch Fathers' Day For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Father's Day (1997): Dir: Ivan Reitman / Cast: Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Nastassja Kinski, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bruce Greenwood: Blatantly cruel comedy that mocks fatherhood. What Nastassja Kinski does in this so-called comedy is cruel. Sure, she loves her son but she also tells two men that they are the father of her runaway son. Billy Crystal plays a lawyer who can deliver a nasty head-butt, and Robin Williams is a depressed writer who claims that attempts at suicide is the only thing keeping him alive. They both search for who they believe is their son. They also learn that he is wanted for stolen drug money. Humor is in poor taste particularly when the sincere real father goes out searching. Both leads are told that they are the real father to spare their feelings in conclusion. It is an ugly sick joke. Not a high point for Ivan Reitman who has directed such superior comedies as Ghostbusters and Dave. Crystal and Williams recycle tired material that doesn't do either one justice. Both have done superior work and will no doubt survive this trash. Kinski plays the kid's mother in the film's least sympathetic role. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is also wasted in a cardboard role. An absolute waste for all talent involved. During the next family gathering copies of this film should be used as target practice or part of a bonfire. This is the kind of film that not even dad would laugh at. Score: 0 / 10

So I decided to do some reviews for Robin Williams films as I am a fan of his ever since I was a kid. I was gutted when I found out he passed away on Monday by suicide and here is my review of the 1997 flick Father's Day. Now I didn't see this in a very long time so let's dive in. The film is about two men who have one thing in common they both have a son and they have NO idea which one of them really is the young boy's mother. So they track him down to find out who's son he belongs to Billy Crystal or Robin Williams charcther?Overall it was a fairly good film. And if you were a fan of Robin Williams then check it out.

This is an American comedy staring Billy Crystal and Robin Williams and is about two grown men who are led to believe that they are the father of the same boy. An old high school girlfriend has lost her son and she approaches these men separately and tells them that the boy is their son and that he has gone missing. The men decide to seek him out and inadvertently meet and find out that they are chasing the same boy. Billy Crystal plays an upperclass lawyer who likes to think he is pretty straight and has an average life (if you count two ex-wives average, which unfortunately most people do) while Robin Williams is a crazy author who's life is quite dull, to the point where he wants to commit suicide. As for comedies, this movie is typical of America. It is funny but it is only because Robin William's character is quite bizarre. Billy Crystal, who is supposed to be a very funny comedian, is quite dull. Without the unusual character of Robin Williams, this movie would basically suck. There is a lot of Americanisms in this silly movie, such as everybody living happy at the end, and the kid lying to make everybody happy. Seriously though, lying may heal a short term wound, but it really does aggravate it in the long run. Its like putting a band aid on a bullet wound. Robin Williams' character is quite funny, but, unlike the French characters, his is just simply crazy. The French make cool characters because they are quirky. They are not outright crazy as the Americans tend to make theirs, they are just normal people with little extra things added to them. Still, can't blame them for their lack of creativity.

Best COMEDY of 1997, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal come together Finally after 10 years of looking for a picture to do together( Says on DVD) Remake of Comperes, Les. A lawyer (crystal), and a writer/Major goofball (Williams) Who have nothing in common until they both go in search of their so called son, which their Ex-girlfriend tells them both without thinking they'd team up during the search. Funny, with a laugh around every corner. This movie deserves a lot more credit than given especially cause of the two great actors and Great director IVAN REITMAN. Your friends and family were wrong they are an uneven team but that makes it so funny because the plot calls for them to have nothing in common.
