Trending Position
A bit of a mishmash of a film. <em>'Superdad'</em> practically has three storylines rearing a head. You've got a father trying to get involved with his daughter's life, alongside the father having a big work event and the daughter having a sizeable life decision which conflicts with her friends. ... It's messy, the first one is definitely the film's intended focus but they don't really develop all of them too well. The middle one involves Joe Flynn (Hershberger), who is shoehorned into another Disney live-action flick - he is fairly good in <em>'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes'</em> trilogy, but since the original film of that series in 1969 they really tried to force him into a load of their other releases. Somewhat likewise to Kurt Russell (Bart), but at least his role is actually integral here. Bob Crane is solid enough in the main role as Charlie, as is Kathleen Cody as daughter Wendy. Not one I'd recommend, despite some pleasing on the eye shots at the very beginning and very end.
