Movie Reviews of Father Hood
Movie Review: interesting premise, horrible execution
Summary: 3 Stars
Ah, what could have been? Interesting premise: 2 kids in foster care/reform school (?) break out to find real dad (Patrick Swayze) to take them across the country to New Orleans. Real dad turns out to be a con artist one step ahead of the law and some bad guys. Movie then disintegrates into bad chase movie punctuated by dysfunctional family squabbling as dad doesn't really want anything to do with kids. Meanwhile there's a plot about abuses going on at the state children's facility and a reporter (Halle Berry) who's doing an investigation, and covering their cross-country flight (which has been labeled a kidnapping). Much confusion later, kids eventually reunite with Dad. Crappy dialogue abounds, and Swayze chews up the scenery as an over-the-hill rocker/con man suddenly saddled with a teenage daughter and a younger son. Josh Lucas has a cameo role (one of his first movies) as the daughter's object of affection; he plays a college intern who befriended her at the facility and she mistakenly confuses his friendship with love, and he just happens to live in New Orleans...so this is really why the girl wants to go there. Sabrina Lloyd of Sliders plays the girl, but I can't remember any of the characters' names; that should tell you something.
