"Get out here and look at the Goddamn moon... it's glorious!"

MY Father the hero is sweet, funny and cute. Gerard Depardiu is awesomeas Andre, a divorced father who takes his fourteen year old daughterNicole(Kathrine Heigl) to the Caribbean for vacation.While there, hisdaughter meets a guy named Ben(Dalton James. To impress him, she tellshim that Andre is her lover and that her father is in jail for armedrobbery and her mother is a prostitute and that she ran off with herpimp. Everyone on the island is soon under the impression that Andre'sa child molester. Andre is between two relationships. One withIsabelle(Emma Thompson, who makes a cameo in the end of the film) andDiana(Faith Prince from Spin City). My father the Hero has many funnymoments. Like when he's at a talent show and everyone tells him to playsomething french. So he plays "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" fromGigi. Everyone gets disgusted and leaves. My Father the Hero doesn'tdeserve a 5.1. I think it deserves a 9.0.

my father the hero, my father the hero, my father the hero

This movie is so great! It is one of my favorite movies among Clue and Swingers. This has a wonderful story line and great actors. I especially like Dalton James. I watch this movie all of the time, but I never get sick of it.

Searched for this movie for 2 and a half years, no one carries it, so I found it on Amazon

After 2 and a half years, I finally found this movie. No rental location carries it, and I finally found it on Amazon and I was so thrilled so I went ahead and purchased it. Great teen movie. I would recommend this movie to all teens.

a great movie...

This is one of the best romantic movies I have ever seen.Especially girls who can identify with Nicole will love it(not onlybecauseof the handsome Dalton James) I also liked the music verymuch.A highlight was land of the sea and sun from baha-man.So watch the movie and enjoy it

Great movie

I loved this movie when I was younger and couldn't find it anywhere on DVD. Local stores only had copies on VHS. The movie arrived in perfect condition and my experience with the seller was nothing but great. If you haven't seen this movie, see it- it's a good, light-hearted movie with excellent '90s clothes, ha!

4 1/2 Stars, Really???

This review is from: My Father the Hero (DVD) The highlight of this movie was hidden between Katherine Heigl buttcheeks, and it went downhill from there (if that's possible). The writing was non existent, uninspired sets, the acting amateurish at best. Gerard, how you got hoodwinked into this is beyond a sane person's comprehension.

Movie for all ages

Great movie, great music. Music puts you in the mood to head right to the beach and meet that special someone you've been looking for. If someone knows where to find the soundtrack to this, please email me. I'd love to have it!!!

Fave Movie

I, like a few other reviewers, LOVE this movie! I also saw it when I was pretty young, and fell in love with it. I also bought the DVD since my tape was getting too used. This movie makes me feel good, and happy. Sure, the storyline isn`t all that "deep", but that`s fine. Gérard Dépardieu is fantastic, and Dalton James is so handsome! Plus, the scenery is breathtaking.

Romantic comedy about the trials and tribulations of a father who brings his young daughter on a vacation in paradise.

I think is a great and a VERY funny movie. The story is so funny. Thedaughter Nicole brings her father Andre, in some very embarrassingsituations In an effort to impress the boy of her dreams, the daughterpretends that her father is her lover.You just have to see!! Heigl islovely as Nicole, perhaps too lovely; I'm not sure why she'd need tolie to hook anyone? Gerard Depardieu Acts very great in this comedyfilm, he is so fun to watch. If you like comedy and romantic film youjust have to see this!!! I think you can see this film many time, andyou will still have a good laugh.In an effort to impress the boy of her dreams, the girl pretends thather father is her lover.

hee hee hee ha ha ha

This review is from: My Father the Hero [VHS] (VHS Tape) This movie was really funny to me. I really loved Katherine Heigl in it, I wish she was in more movies. Alicia Silverstone was out for the role but she was too fat or something, but I think Katherine did a really good job. The script is funny, the whole thing about her making people think her dad was her lover was hilarious. If you don't want to buy this movie, you should at least rent it and watch it. It's adorable.

This movie was soo funny and I loved it! You have to see it!

This movie was hillarious! It's about a 14 year old girl who goes on a vacation with her father (her mom and dad are divorced). She gives her dad a hard time, and she claims there is nothing for her to do on the beautiful island in which they are staying at. She meets this hottie (Dalton James) and they fall in love. Although, Nikki tries to impress this guy, Ben, by making up lies. It's such a great movie! You gotta see it!!

Lightweight comedy makes for sheer entertainment

There is nothing earth-shatteringly unique about MY FATHER THE HERO.It is a very lightweight comedy that concerns itself with the relationship of Andre (Gerard Depardieu) and his headstrong daughter Nicole (Katherine Heigl)as they attempt to reconnect after five years while on vacation at a Tiki resort.Nicole is nothing short of a cruel,manipulative brat and Andre is trying to re-establish a life with Nicole while attempting to decide about marriage with the woman he has been seeing.Now, the plot of this film is pretty flimsy...BUT it does feature France's best known actor for the last thirty years and a very young Katherine Heigl in her third feature film long before T.V.'s ROSWELL and GREY'S ANATOMY.Both do an excellent job with the material at hand.The most convincing scene concerns Depardieu feeding Heigl romantic lines aka Cyrano de Bergerac in order to capture the heart of her beau (Dalton James-whatever happened to him?).....very clever and convincing! Depardieu plays nothing short of a lumbering buffoon.He is such an amazing dramatic actor who has graced the screen with portrayals of such legendary figures as DANTON,CYRANO de BERGERAC,COLONEL CHABERT,Jean Valjean in LES MISERABLES that this fluff is so far below him as a great actor; that said, though,Depardieu is funny and touching in his sensitive and comedic turn as Andre.It is no small wonder that Katherine Heigl has turned out to be one of the hottest stars on American television.You can see all of her potential here in looks and in depth of skill.This is an American remake of the French film MON PERE CE HERO.MY FATHER THE HERO is a fun 90 minute romp from Touchstone/Disney that will be enjoyed for the sheer entertainment of it all.Katherine Heigl's first film was THAT NIGHT and shows her at the age of eleven.It is a small role, but you will see the star power there! Depardieu has always been the greatest and should be seen in the above mentioned films for Americans who have not seen this magnificent Frenchman act.I also suggest A PURE FORMALITY,A LOVING FATHER,MOON IN THE GUTTER,JEAN de FLORETTE and ALL THE MORNINGS OF THE WORLD to view Depardieu in his Frenchiness "magnifique".His other American triumph was GREEN CARD opposite Andie MacDowell.

Very Funny

This review is from: My Father the Hero (DVD) Since this movie came out about 15 years ago, I've been waiting until my daughter was old enough at 15 to watch it with me. We both were laughing all the way through. It was a great time with her and I recommend all Dads watch it with their age appropriate daughter.

Warm Fluff I've been watching since I was 5

I don't think I'll ever ever ever get sick of this movie!Sure, it's not deep, and 14 year-old Katherine Heigl isn't much of an actress(although she's gorgeous like hell).But Gerard Depardieu works!The slapstick,sweet and silly but totally irresistable story (adolescent girl is on vacation with her father, and all is well until a slight misunderstanding gets the whole island to believe that Gerard Depardieu is Heigl's lover), works! All the supporting roles and sidekicks work!The humor is there, and it gets me laughing everytime!Not a single moment drags, and I can't think of a better fluffy, feel-good, weekend flick!

Horrible!!

Never received my purchase. Seller wouldn't respond to emails. Had to file a claim with Amazon. Eventually got my money back. Tell everyone not to buy from them. Gives Amazon a bad name.

MY FATHER THE HERO

This review is from: My Father the Hero (DVD) Unfortunately I was sent the American DVD for this film. It does not play on my system! I have seen the film before though and it is great which is why I wanted my own copy.

cute and funny

Hilarious!!!!

This is a refreshing, cute, and funny family comedy which triuphs as a true original. Gérard Depardieu is hilarious as the clueless French father of a rebellious 14 year old brat. I never knew he was so good at comedy! Katherine Heigl is excellent in the role of his daughter, but acts and looks like a 17 year old, not a 14 year old, which is why this movie is so funny!
