Laura B @RT81435164 Jul 12, 2026 My Father the Hero will always be one of those movies that takes me right back to my childhood. I remember watching it over and over because it made me laugh every single time. Rewatching it as an adult brought back so many memories and reminded me why I loved it so much. Gérard Depardieu & Katherine Heigl had great on-screen chemistry, and the awkward misunderstandings throughout the movie are what make it so entertaining. It’s one of those classic ’90s comedies that doesn’t rely on special effects or over-the-top action. Instead, it delivers humor, heart, and memorable characters that stay with you long after it’s over. While some parts reflect the time it was made, I think that’s part of its charm. It’s funny, nostalgic, and surprisingly heartfelt, showing the loving but complicated relationship between a father and daughter. If you’re looking for a movie that will make you laugh and bring back that classic ’90s feel, this one is absolutely worth watching.

See more Mar 21, 2021 Depardieu's accent makes the dialogue hard to understand for half the film and it gets a little uncomfortable when the underage lead in frequently shown in provocative clothing. Not sure what this movie was going for. See more jona i @RT86387422 Jun 7, 2020 Generally stale performances and often creepy material, though some of it is pretty funny. Some nice quips. See more susan j @CallMeLulu Jan 7, 2020 This was such a waste of time. Embarrassed to post a review but I saw Gerard Depardieu was in it, and really like him as an actor---and the premise seemed so weird I thought it might be weird in a fun way. It was not. It was painfully bad. The 14% Critics rating is far more accurate than the 48% Audience ratings. The premise is trite. The acting is egregiously bad--the characters are really, really, really stupid. The girl is the most ungrateful spoiled unpleasant repugnant I may ever have seen in a film. Depardieu plays a moron, surrounded by legions of other morons. The madcap hijinx and slapstick shenanigans are unbelievably cringey. Seriously: don't watch this. Nothing redeemable here. See more Read all reviews
