Review of Fathers' Day

Fathers' Day (1997)
3/10
Boy, did this suck
19 February 1999
Billy Crystal and Robin Williams are two of the funniest men alive, and Ivan Reitman has directed some real comedy classics. HOW COULD THEY MAKE THIS?!? The funny gags in this film are few and far between, and the highlight of the film isn't even the two of them, it's Mel Gibson when he shows up pierced and tatooed all over. Also, I must admit it has a good soundtrack, with music by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Sly and the Family Stone. But otherwise, this is painfully unfunny. The French original, LES COMPARES, with Gerard Depardieu, was only okay, but this remake makes it look like a classic.
