Fathers' Day (1997)

Based on the film Les compères (1983).

When her teenage son runs away from home, a woman looks for an old boyfriend and tells him he is the boy's father and asks him to help find him. Then she phones another old boyfriend and tells him the same thing. Those two guys accidentally meet and join in a search for the missing kid.

Unremarkable comedy which might help pass the time in a desperate situation. The dialogue has a tendency to try too hard to be funny, with variable results. I haven't watched the French original, but what we see here is a really uninspired comedy.

Rating: 33
