I'm sorry that this film didn't have what the general public likes...dumb shootouts, stupid car chases, pointless romance or "good guys" beating "bad guys" in the stupidest of ways. This film was awesome...just watch it...those with good taste will agree!

No build up to any emotion between father and kids. Through most of the movie, he feels nothing for them and then the end comes close and suddenly he's father of the year. This one is as bad as the critics say.

Father Hood is a disappointing film. It is about a deadbeat dad kidnaps his kids from the bus. Patrick Swayze and Hallie Berry give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Darrell Roodt did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

Most of the characters may be trapped in programmed spontaneity, but you can get a real lift out of the landscapes, the crisp sunlight splayed over gas stations and billboards, and the cannonade of '50s and '60s rock oldies.

Father Hood isn't so much undemanding as vapid, disjointed rather than antic. And if this film is a romp, then so is bearbaiting.

Despite its best intentions, Father Hood is destined to become leftovers in the video store.

Basically adequate yet completely forgettable...

If Swayze's performance is thin, that's nothing compared to the vapid logic that propels Father Hood.

TV Guide

While not a classic, Father Hood does offer a fairly exciting crime spree neutered into fun for the entire family.
