Father’s Day

Ok, so this movie is a week late so sue me. In fact you can get Jack Lawrence (Billy Crystal) to file the lawsuit. He is but on of the potential fathers in this comedy. This film should have been called “Who’s your daddy?” for that is the plot for this 1997 comedy. Collette Andrews cons two men into finding he strayed son. They both had relations with her in the past and therefore righteously believe to be Scott’s dad. That is the premise of this 1997 comedy. It is simple and short as is this one hour and thirty-nine minutes film. Ok, enough plot points. Here is what I think of this film. It was funny in parts but not hilarious. I never really laughed out loud once. I did however chuckle a few times. They say that laughing on the inside is what counts. If that is true than this film gets good merits. However it is not true so no real props for comedy. The best thing this film has going for it is the casting. Robin Williams and Billy Crystal are perfectly cast in this film and play the roles the play so well. They both gel well together and make perfect opposites in this whimsical comedy. The pacing of this film is perfect. This movie is just fun to watch. It is well directed and perfectly written. Father’s Day may not be a family film but it is about family. At least it is about what people will do for their family members, or people they believe to be their family members. I am not sure weather or not I will recommend this film to any friends or co- workers. It was a decent film but not an amazing one. It had a great ending though and that gives it major props in my book. Grade B-

A note from an editor!

Hi Matthew,


Thank you for the time and effort you put into this piece, especially on a Saturday morning. I can tell you definitely took good notes of everything that was going on during the event!


We still have some work to do before this piece is ready to print. Your piece has a lot of information, but it doesn’t sound like a news article. What was the point of his speech/presentation? Why was he addressing this audience? What is Vanguard? What does the company do – who does it serve? You spend a lot of time narrating (for example, how he was injured), but did not report on the purpose of the event. You can maybe mention his appearance/joking about it in a sentence or two, but do not take several paragraphs to do so. Also, I like how you mentioned where the name “Vanguard” comes from.


There are a lot of spelling errors in this piece – make sure you proof read each sentence carefully.


I know I am getting back to you a little later I hoped, and I’m sorry about that! But if you have time tonight, please go through my suggestions and try to rework your piece. You can send me what you have tonight/tomorrow morning. Please bring a copy of it to the meeting tomorrow and we will discuss it further from there.


Once again, thanks for your hard work and promptness! Remember this is a learning process, and we are all part of the Waltonian team!


Talk to you soon!
