Directed by Steve Miner

Gérard Depardieu (Green Card) stars as an overprotective father who lands in hot water when his overactive teenage daughter (Katherine Heigl, Knocked Up) gets in over her head at a tropical vacation resort. Soon, the mischievous teen is getting Dad in big trouble — hurling him into one madcap misadventure after another. Combining uproarious comedy and a beautiful island setting, My Father the Hero simply overflows with nonstop fun in the sun. Discover for yourself the comedy hit that left critics and audiences alike drowning with laughter. Directed by Steve Miner (Warlock, House), this is a wonderful remake of Gérard Lauzier’s 1991 French hit Mon père, ce héros which also starred Depardieu. Co-starring Lauren Hutton (Gator) and Stephen Tobolowsky (Groundhog Day).
