One son ... two fathers? Robin Williams and Billy Crystal star as prospective dads in search of the same runaway boy that each thinks may be his child. From director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters movies) comes the madcap comedy adventure Fathers' Day. Dale Putley (Williams--The Birdcage, Mrs. Doubtfire) and Jack Lawrence (Crystal--City Slickers films, When Harry Met Sally...) never met, yet they both share something in common: ex-girlfriend Colette (Nastassja Kinski). To enlist their aid in tracking down her missing son, Colette tells each of her dumbfounded ex-lovers that he fathered the child to which she gave birth 16 years ago. Inadvertently trapped on the road together, these two strangers grow even stranger as they engage in the hilarious hijinks that can only happen when it's Fathers' Day.

Critics Consensus: A maudlin misfire, Father's Day manages the difficult task of making Billy Crystal and Robin Williams woefully unfunny.

Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

It's a wonder that these stars couldn't produce a funnier result, even with the faults of a weak script and poor pacing.

This thoroughly sad and lazy comedy pairs Robin Williams and Billy Crystal as would-be fathers searching for a Sugar Ray-obsessed teenage wastoid. Unfunny non-hijinx ensue.

Father's Day has a few laugh-out-loud sequences, but it's nothing to celebrate.

A movie of implacable unfunniness.

For the comic actors, this project -- an enjoyable synthesis of improvisation and adherence to the original story -- seems almost too easy. You wonder why it took them so long.
