Fathers' Day (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fathers' Day is a 1997 comedy film that was directed by Ivan Reitman and starred Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Nastassja Kinski. It is a remake of the 1983 French film Les Compères.

In the film, a woman (Kinski) gets two former lovers (Williams and Crystal) to help her search for her runaway teenage son by telling each man that he is the father. When the ex-boyfriends run into each other and find out what's happening, they work together to find the teenager and determine the identity of the actual father.

The film features an appearance by the musical group Sugar Ray.

In South Africa, this film was released as What's Up Pop's? at theatres, as the distributor, in their infinite wisdom, decided would be more appropriate for the local market. The name was subsequently changed to What's Up Pops? for DVD release, when they realised that an apostrophe does not a plural make.
