A Brief Review of "Fantastic Dad"

Elody 2022-04-19 09:01:33

The movie "Fantastic Dad" is a movie about the love between father and son.

The general plot of the movie is:

Old man, I'm going to run a marathon!

Baby, the old man runs with you!

A few months ago, a brother-in-law relationship was just staged in Chengdu, and this time a father-son relationship was staged in Chongqing. It has to be said that the Sichuan-Chongqing dialect is more popular on TV and movies. If it is said that there was a process from estrangement to closeness in the last sibling relationship, then the father relationship this time still retains such a narrative structure in a sense. In a single-parent family, a strong father forces his son to do things he doesn't like. Then the son fell ill, and the father put down his obsession and changed in order to fulfill his son's dream.

On the whole, this film is not as sensational as the last sister and brother relationship, and adds some jokes, allowing people to experience and appreciate in laughter. In some places, perhaps similar to Jia Ling's "Hello Li Huanying", it is a kind of dream come true. It's just that Jia Ling's story is more of a remorse, while this story is an effort and change to reality.

Overall, this movie is ok, with a personal score of 8.

  • Beaver's Son: [lays down a box of supplies during a Science lab class] Why's your cousin such a wet sandwich?

    Kristofferson: I beg your pardon?

    Beaver's Son: What's that mean?

    Kristofferson: That means that I don't understand what you just said. A wet sandwich?
