Movie Reviews of My Father the Hero
Movie Review: I'm dying now??????
Summary: 5 Stars
"Oooooooohhhh
This was a very cute and enjoyable movie. Gerard Depardieu (The Man in the Iron Mask) was funny as the father of a teenage girl who is dealing with her parents being divorced and her father not always contactable. The teenager is played by the now stunning (and over 18) Katherine Heigl. Everytime my wife and I watch this movie, the infamous bathing suit that Nicole (Heigl) wears always starts us up on a conversation. When he backside is showing, I'm the first one to say that our daughter will not wear that until she's 30, and NO THONGS!!! LOL.
The movie is basically about Andre (Depardieu) and Nicole going on a vacation to the Bahamas. Andre learns that his daughter is all grown up and is in that age where she will get agitated any second and fall in love just as fast. Nicole has been upset with Andre for a while but refuses to tell him why as she is also mad that he hasn't been around. Andre also has to figure out why his girlfriend, Isabelle, isn't speaking to him either. What complicates matters is the fact that during there vacation, everyone; both employees and fellow vacationers, think he is a pervert. This is due to the fact that Nicole had told a small little lie that Andre, her father, is actually her lover. This was to impress an older guy that she likes who happens to work at the hotel her and her father stay at. The fact is that this guy at first when he saw her near rocks on the shore "treated her like a kid," telling her to not go on those rocks because it's dangerous---made her start her lies, first saying she was older than her actual age which was 14. The guy was 18. the lies got longer and stranger as the movie goes on.
The best part is when Andre plays the piano singing," I like little girls," to a stunned audience at the hotel. The laughs are spread out and is a delight to watch. A great addition to anyones DVD library.
