5/18: Father Hood is a lighthearted film about a bad dad who changes his mind about the responsibilities and decides to become a good father.

There's plenty of action and comedy. More importantly, it has a lot of Patrick Swayze who shines and is fun to watch as usual. I like the word play on the title which shows a common hood who's supposed to act like a father to his two kids by setting a good example.

The abuse that the children received in the orphanage and how they were exploited for profit (by none other than The Shawshank Redemption's Bob Gunton) is common and realistic. That's why Father Hood is a better movie than the critics claim it to be.

All in all, serious fans of Patrick Swayze will like Father Hood.
