The film is about a top shot lawyer (Jack Lawrence) And a suicidal writer (Dale Putley) who has nothing in common who have both been told they have a son by the same woman. Each of the two men were told separately by the same woman that they were the father of her teenage son as he has went missing and she needed help to find him.
This is the start of an hilarious journey - the two men set out to find clues to where their son could be and end up running into each other and think their two sons could be together as there both looking for runaways. Until they have to provide a photograph of the boys they realize that they are looking for the same boy. So the two agree to still look for the boy as neither of them no which is that father, so they set out getting clues from his their son Scott's girlfriend's parents. They find out that Scott and his friends follow a music band on every trip so that's where they new they could find him. They found him drunk in a back alley at the concert - took him home and bathed him. And explained to him the story of who they are. This started a whole new relationship between the three.
Scott is in lot of trouble as he stole money of drug dealers and needs their help to get away from them - so Jack and Dale get him far away from them and takes him home to his mother. The ending result I will not tell you as its best you watch the film and find out who is the real father Jack? Dale? Or Scott's mothers husband?

What I thought of the film
I loved this film - it was really funny - robin Williams was hilarious in this movie as he was such a depressing low life kinda of ma and jack being a top notch lawyer it was funny seeing them together was they were so opposite. They are two top comedy actors and worked great together in this movie. I would highly recommend the film
The film is known as "The mother of all comedy events"
Fathers Day,
Starring Robin Williams and Billy Crystal,
We watched this movie last night, and were really looking forward to it, especially see-in it started two of the funniest actors on screen, But what a huge disappointment The story line is of a Mother's teenage son that has gone missing, well not so much missing but more of an infatuation with a girl and is falling over himself to please her.
The Mother is married, but in a frantic effort ... ...old flames, both of which she convinces may be the Father of the tearaway teenager, pretty soon it develops into a road trip farce, as the two men go in search of the boy.
Although Williams and Crystal do their best, the film is so bad nothing really connects, and the whole plot just seems to go astray in several different directions, and not really making any sense at all.
There is some funny parts, but really not worth buying, this is probably ...

Advantages: Nice insight into parts of his life Disadvantages: Not really long enough to go into alot of detail
practising the art of Wing Chun which is a popular style of Kung Fu and quickly became a master at his craft. After appearing in TV Shows and several Hollywood blockbusters which were centred around his craft, he became a legend in the industry before his untimely death on the 20th July 1973 at the age of 32, there have been numerous rumours surrounding his sudden death but one that has always been very prominent is that he accidentally overdosed on painkillers, he had never taken them before so the dosage he took was too much for his body to handle.
There have been numerous videos and DVD documentaries charting the legends short life and Bruce Lee: Martial Arts Master is one I picked up a few weeks back for my Dad from play.com for Father's Day as he's a huge fan of his. The DVD only cost me £3.99 on play.com whereas on Amazon it would have ...
Advantages: Absolutely amazing Disadvantages: no major ones
attempts to discover the identity of her father, whilst hiding it from her mother, Donna, all merely days before her wedding!
The DVD features the much loved sing a long option, although i find the placing of the words a little annoying after a while, as they are nearer the middle of the screen then the bottom! However its perfect for kids who want to sing and dance with the cast!
There are also a lot of interesting behing the scenes type documentaries on the dvd, including a behind the scenes look at the making of Mamma Mia, a video about the making of the music and also the inclusion of the gimme gimme gimme! music video. One of my favourite extras was the deleted song, in which Amanda Seyfried sang "The Name Of The Game".
The film is rated P.G which i think is valid, although there are a few enuiendos so to speak, its really nothing ...

Advantages: Lots of Tries Disadvantages: Might not be the ones you want to see
Lets get one thing straight, Bill Mclaren is the voice of rugby for anyone over 20 who has watched the 5/6 nations on the BBC pre World Cup 2003. I've met the guy at a book signing and you could not meet a nicer bloke if you tried. He had time for everyone and was a sharp as a knife even after what must have been a tiring day.
I was given this DVD by my Father in Law, and old school rugby player who retired in the 70's and I can see what he enjoyed about it. Lots of tries from the 70s and 80s when the played with a proper leather ball and didn't let you lift at the line out.
I would say that its not a bad product, I just wish there were more recent tries that show the immense athletes that modern rugby players are and less tries from the Scots !. I know Bill is a proud Celt, but I'm sure there were better tries in the archives that ...
