Leave your thoughts about My Father the Hero.
| Boston GlobeJay CarrOffers some of the same breezy charm as its environs. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergOff-putting comedy junk full of creepy material. |
| Miami HeraldJackie PottsMost of the humor is sophisticated slapstick, which Depardieu mastered in the hilarious trio of Francis Veber comedies he did with Pierre Richard in the '80s. |
| Austin ChroniclePamela BruceThe reality of this film is that it is pretty innocent fare, for the most part, and Depardieu does prove his versatility by possessing a natural comic flair that eases him into the paunchy papa bear role. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyDepardieu is his usual charismatic self but the script fails to translate well with the generic traits suddenly appearing so much obvious in English. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinKatherine Heigl, playing the teen-age daughter who is mistaken for Mr. Depardieu's girlfriend, parades about in skimpy bathing suits, displaying almost everything but a sense of humor. |
| Los Angeles TimesPeter RainerThe greatest flaw in My Father the Hero isn't the feeble laugh-to-running length ratio, the limp characterization, or the mediocre acting. Instead, it's the feeling of unease that pervades the first forty-five minutes as Nicole and Andre clash while the film tries unsuccessfully to make light of their dysfunctional relationship. There are serious issues bubbling away here that the movie doesn't know how to address properly. Lighthearted motion pictures should never cause discomfort, but this one does. |
| Common Sense MediaAndrea BeachIffy premise undercuts what could have been a sweet romance. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroA hateful ”family” comedy based on jokey insinuations of incest. |
| User ReviewCrysthis is by far my favorite movie ever! I have watched it a million times and could watch it a million times more! I love the story line! |
