Just Like Dad

"ATTENTION HOLLYWOOD: YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE MAKING MOVIES ANYMORE! We don't need your extreme violence, swearing, sex and filthy language to make good movies. After watching this movie I'm convinced that there is talent hidden in every corner of America.



This is the story of a young boy who was the object of harassment by high school bullies, and whose father was a timid, non-athletic type. The boy yearned for a father who could fill the void in his life. So, he "hired" a "father", a handsome, intelligent executive who had a questionable past, to participate in high school sports with him, and to introduce to his friends as his real father.



The events that followed are somewhat predictable but not so much that you won't be thoroughly entertained. But wait till the end--what a wonderful surprise.



Please do yourself a favor and buy this DVD. It is a clean family-friendly movie. You may need Kleenex."

When I grow up.......?

"Remember those days(Its about 24yrs since I left school)when you dreamed/studied of what life would be like in the future and how would we cope or reach our goal. I've never been a success at anything, I've been a tryer, thats about it. A few years ago(14),I met my father for the first time in my memory,I'd meet him a couple of times a year and He'd fill in some blanks from my youth, the usual Ifs,Whys and maybes. Then about 4yrs ago I saw this movie on some Satelite channel and the tears flowed. This is a truly Exceptional movie ,which I struggled until recently to obtain. The casting and location is first class, it may be predictable but you Will enjoy this Great FAMILY movie. My father passed away at the end of Jan.2009 , deep inside when I grow up(Its never too late) I want to be Just like MY DAD! Thanks."
