Kelly and Eddie Charles wait the release of their father Jack (Patrick Swayze) along with journalist Kathleen Mercer (Halle Berry) that wants to cover the story. Once Jack is out, trouble follows because he doesn't get along well with his not-long seen kids and he can't even stand them, and they spent the majority of the movie escaping after Jack does some of his foolish things and after a while ends up arrested, tried, acquitted and released once again.
The main problem of this movie is that the main character is a jerk and there is no attempt to make him likeable or endearing in the least. He is always on the verge of exploding and behaves like a fool for most of the time, causing trouble to himself and those near him. The kids were actually likeable because they couldn't stand their dad (just like the audience) and this is the reason why I didn't gave it a lower score (along with the soundtrack that is bound to give lots of nostalgic 1990s vibes).
In substance, one of those films billed as family entertainment but that fails to accomplish this mention. A bad lead, various stupid moments that luckily I forgot... this might also account for why only 15 persons apart from me dared to review it.
