Leave your thoughts about Father Hood.
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairBasically adequate yet completely forgettable... |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanThe movie develops a hopelessly split personality. |
| Chicago TribuneSteve JohnsonIt does suggest, ultimately, that if more wards of the state would run off to join their fathers on cross-country crime sprees, we could lick these corrupt foster-care and inattentive-dad problems. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonDespite its best intentions, Father Hood is destined to become leftovers in the video store. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertFather Hood is a genial, simple-minded chase picture in which a small time thief learns to love his children. I didn't believe a single second of it, although I enjoyed a few of them. |
| Baltimore SunStephen HunterThe terrible problem with "Father Hood" is that no one involved seemed to have any idea of what kind of movie it should be, and one feels their conflicting visions at play throughout. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelRoger HurlburtA story of mixed messages that focuses on contempt for the law, legal authority and public safety, it attempts to garner sympathy -- and, unfortunately, laughs -- during a violent cross-country pursuit. |
| Tulsa WorldDennis KingIf Swayze's performance is thin, that's nothing compared to the vapid logic that propels Father Hood. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonMost of the characters may be trapped in programmed spontaneity, but you can get a real lift out of the landscapes, the crisp sunlight splayed over gas stations and billboards, and the cannonade of '50s and '60s rock oldies. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyBased on Gerry Conlon's own account of his arrest and subsequent incarceration, the film takes forever to do what "60 Minutes" does with the same meat in a single segment. |
