Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times 07/08/2014
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. Go to Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel 07/08/2014
1/5
Father Hood isn't so much undemanding as vapid, disjointed rather than antic. And if this film is a romp, then so is bearbaiting. Go to Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times 07/08/2014
1.5/4
Despite its best intentions, Father Hood is destined to become leftovers in the video store. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 07/08/2018

Basically adequate yet completely forgettable... Go to Full Review Dennis King Tulsa World 07/08/2014

If Swayze's performance is thin, that's nothing compared to the vapid logic that propels Father Hood. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D 09/12/2023 Embarrassing for all involved. See more dan o 09/05/2022 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! See more Frances H 06/27/2014 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. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 03/28/2014 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. See more 06/17/2013 In my short 16 years of life, I have seen some terrible films but this takes the cake. Granted Swayze TRIED to do his best with the part given, the movie couldn't be saved. Crazy if non-existent plot, terrible pacing, and rather hateful to be marketed as a family film, Father Hood is best left forgotten. See more 04/02/2011 Father Hood can be a bit heavy at times... but that doesn't take away from its appeal. See more Read all reviews
