Fly, Daddy, Fly (2006)

A good film, worth seeing.

[7/10 · 21 July 2007]

A story that seems to be more of a guy flick than a girl flick, it is a touching story about a fathers attempt to get revenge on the boy who hurt his daughter. It opens with a man running to a hospital. Come to find out the girl has been injured by a boy in a karaoke parlor. Good girls don't hang out in karaoke parlors, and the father is led to believe it is his own daughters behavior that led to her injuries. His impotent anger is well portrayed. Eventually he attempts to attack the boy who hurt his daughter. He is stopped by another boy, the only boy to ever defeat the boxing "champ". The introverted young man agrees to train the father to fight honorably against the boy who hurt his daughter. The story follows the mans training over the high school winter vacation.

A little predictable and it definitely follows the formula, but this film had very funny moments. There were moments that remind me of Rocky, and it is a feel good movie, but none-the-less I really enjoyed watching it.

Not a good movie

[3/10 · 31 January 2007]

Because it is from India, it makes up for the really bad cgi horrible rip off of Gulliver's travels and lots of roars. Not worth the price I paid. It was a rip off. Even the kids wont enjoy this one. I bought it in China for a dollar. I want my dollar back. The only benefit is being able to mock it mystery science theater 3000 style. I didn't think it was possible to find a movie worse than cabin boy, but this is it. It is two hours of my life that I want back... But then again, if I were drunk this might actually be funny. It does have it's random rock video moments. The mermaid is just ridiculous. You could blind someone with that beard! The plot from power rangers would be considered advanced compared to this.
