3.0 out of 5 stars A Distant Echo of an Important Novel, 26 Jan 2008
By Ford Ka (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dad [1989] (REGION 1) (NTSC) (DVD)
Does the name of Ted Danson ring any bell? It doesn't? No wonder, Ted was the "star" of some early 80s soap opera who wanted to become a real actor. Unfortunately, his choice for the path to stardom was the movie made of William Wharton's "Dad". The story had to be refashioned to be more glitzy - a painter became a businessman. The result is rather grim and, if you haven't read the novel, difficult to follow. The story is sad but moving - the book is saturated with nostalgia for what the heroes missed in life or realized too late to enjoy fully - the film is so so.
And there is one moderately funny bit - through the film Jack Lemmon and Olympia Dukakis look as if they both wanted to ask one and the same question - What am I doing in this movie??? They are doing their best but it is not enough to save and Ethan Hawke is too young to make a difference.
