Laura B @RT81435164 Jul 12 My Father the Hero will always be one of those movies that takes me right back to my childhood. I remember watching it over and over because it made me laugh every single time. Rewatching it as an adult brought back so many memories and reminded me why I loved it so much. Gérard Depardieu & Katherine Heigl had great on-screen chemistry, and the awkward misunderstandings throughout the movie are what make it so entertaining. It’s one of those classic ’90s comedies that doesn’t rely on special effects or over-the-top action. Instead, it delivers humor, heart, and memorable characters that stay with you long after it’s over. While some parts reflect the time it was made, I think that’s part of its charm. It’s funny, nostalgic, and surprisingly heartfelt, showing the loving but complicated relationship between a father and daughter. If you’re looking for a movie that will make you laugh and bring back that classic ’90s feel, this one is absolutely worth watching.

See more 03/21/2021 Depardieu's accent makes the dialogue hard to understand for half the film and it gets a little uncomfortable when the underage lead in frequently shown in provocative clothing. Not sure what this movie was going for. See more jona i @RT86387422 06/07/2020 Generally stale performances and often creepy material, though some of it is pretty funny. Some nice quips. See more susan j @CallMeLulu 01/07/2020 This was such a waste of time. Embarrassed to post a review but I saw Gerard Depardieu was in it, and really like him as an actor---and the premise seemed so weird I thought it might be weird in a fun way. It was not. It was painfully bad. The 14% Critics rating is far more accurate than the 48% Audience ratings. The premise is trite. The acting is egregiously bad--the characters are really, really, really stupid. The girl is the most ungrateful spoiled unpleasant repugnant I may ever have seen in a film. Depardieu plays a moron, surrounded by legions of other morons. The madcap hijinx and slapstick shenanigans are unbelievably cringey. Seriously: don't watch this. Nothing redeemable here. See more Read all reviews
