Okay, forget WARRIORS OF VIRTUE. I know, I know...it'll be hard. Until you see a little masterpiece known to one and all as FATHER'S DAY! Soon to be re-named OSCAR'S DAY, I promise. It is simply, the most original and stunning piece of film since...well, WARRIORS OF VIRTUE. A few examples of it's brilliance.
1. Two characters...one kind of tight-assed and prissy, really doesn't know how to enjoy life. The other is a loose cannon, a wild-man...total opposites, flip sides of the same coin...the LAST TWO people you'd ever expect to get along. And at first, they don't! No way, they drive each other crazy! But soon, they learn to appreciate each other's differences and by the end ARE BEST FRIENDS! I know, I know.
2. These two men are told by a woman from their past that they're the father of her runaway son...that's right, THEY BOTH ARE! WE DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IS THE FATHER! Uh-oh! You know what makes me sick? There was a television show called MY TWO DADS a few years ago that ripped this premise off. Is nothing sacred?
3. The runaway son is caught up with some MEAN MOTORSCOOTERS...evidently he owes them money...and it's up to HIS TWO DADS to save the day...needless to say, much falling down and head-butting occurs. All that was needed to make this a classic was seltzer and pie fights and farting.
4. One of the kangaroos is troubled...oh wait, wrong masterpiece.
5. And this whole epic makes everyone a better person. See, at the beginning of the film, each stereotype, I mean character, was going through some personal crisis...but a little male bonding, wacky drug-dealers and head-butting is all you need to solve your problems.
That's about it. GET THEE TO FATHER'S DAY, before it goes to video next week. And it's made by the guy who brought you that one-joke classic TWINS! See, they're brothers, yet they look nothing alike! IT HURTS!
