Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times 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. Jul 8, 2014 Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel Father Hood isn't so much undemanding as vapid, disjointed rather than antic. And if this film is a romp, then so is bearbaiting. Rated: 1/5 Jul 8, 2014 Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times Despite its best intentions, Father Hood is destined to become leftovers in the video store. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 8, 2014 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Basically adequate yet completely forgettable... Rated: 2/4 Jul 8, 2018 Full Review Dennis King Tulsa World If Swayze's performance is thin, that's nothing compared to the vapid logic that propels Father Hood. Rated: 1/4 Jul 8, 2014 Full Review TV Guide While not a classic, Father Hood does offer a fairly exciting crime spree neutered into fun for the entire family. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 8, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D Embarrassing for all involved. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Stacy D Funny family action movie 🍿 I loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/23 Full Review dan o 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! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review stephen w Annoying characters and horrible acting across the board in this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Frances H 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/02/14 Full Review ashley h 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.
