Editorial Review:

Description:
Get ready for "the mother of all comedy events" (Pat Collins, WWOR-TV/New York) as Robin Williams and Billy Crystal play a flaky writer and an uptight lawer teaming up to track down a runaway teen each thinks might be his son. Year: 1997 Director: Ivan Reitman Starring: Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Amazon.com:
Billy Crystal plays the straight man to neurotic Robin Williams when these two very different individuals join forces to find a runaway teenager. Both, you see, have been told they are the boy's father by Nastassja Kinski, with whom each had once been involved. This Disney production is based on the more humorous French farce, Les Compères, by Francis Veber (who cowrote this adaptation). It has its moments as breezy entertainment, but the plot is sloppy enough to seem more like slapstick than sophisticated comedy. The gags are contrived, and it fails to unfold with believability, or grace. More interesting than the writing are the performances, as Crystal brings surprising depth to his cynical lawyer and Williams is exceptionally fine-tuned as a suicidal and dippy writer with a very kind heart. --Rochelle O'Gorman

- Robin & Billy: perfect together!
My daughter loves this movie!
From my standpoint it's only a fair film with a silly plotline.
But it's worth watching it just to see Robin Williams & Billy Crystal, two of the funniest guys in movies working together.

- A dream team that turns out to be a snoozer
FATHER'S DAY writers Lowell Ganz and Bobaloo Mandel wrote great film comedies such as SPLASH, CITY SLICKERS, PARENTHOOD and A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN. And FATHER'S DAY director Ivan Reitman made gems such as STRIPES, GHOST BUSTERS and TWINS. With zany Robin Williams and Billy Crystal in lead roles, how could FATHER'S DAY turn out to be so dull - and not even interesting? I don't know, but the story seems little more than a bunch of ideas for a film thrown together, as if there was not enough time ... Read More

- A father's film
Since its initiation in 1986,Billy Crystal and Robin Williams,with Whoopi Goldberg,have hosted a series of Comic Relief shows,which were fundraisers for the homeless. Crystal and Williams,longtime acquaintances,have reunited for this funny film about two fathers who set out to find their son(s). It turns out that they are both the boy's fathers(one is biological and the other is a surrogate). The opening theme,is YOUNG BOY,written and performed by Sir Paul McCartney which also appears on his 1997 ... Read More

- Old Bonanza Episodes Are 10 Time Funnier
I started watching this movie, got about 15 minutes into it, shut it off. What an extreme waste of talent for to of the funniest men in the world. No wonder this DVD doesnt sell and isnt available, and there's no reviews, i'm wasting my typing right now. Later on.

- Father's Day Review
The movie is entertaining and a good way to spend about two hours. Robin Williams predictable. This was not one of his better performances. Billy Crystal's performance was outstanding. I would not recommend this film for anyone under 15. There are some serious adult issues in it. It can be a bit heavy for younger viewers.
