  11. The Father review

    It's one of the very best films of 2020. An older adult male, a charming gentleman named Anthony (Anthony Hopkins), is having memory lapses.

His father, a hard-working, honest man, is filled with indignation.

    Powered by JustWatch. "Father Stu," based on the true story of an improbable journey from boxer to priest, was a passion project for Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson, both devout Catholics.

  24. Father Of The Bride movie review (1991)

    Directed by. Charles Shyer. The most surprising discovery audiences are making about Steve Martin at this stage of his career is that he is a warm actor - warm, and yet not ingratiating.
