Rating: 2/10

Wanted to like this, REALLY wanted to like this. But I dunno... not the great movie everyone acted like it was. Yes, there were copious amounts of blood and nudity. But there was something missing for me. A story, maybe? It seemed like a bunch of dudes sat around at the kitchen table and threw out a lot of ideas for a movie, and then they crammed it all in to make Father's Day. I'm a girl, and I'm not a big fan of bro humor, which is 99 percent of the movie. I do love a good chainsaw killing, though. Best parts for me: When the dude with the eye-patch beat up the bad guy on the bridge. Points for production value! And the casting was pretty great for a low-budget. Oh, and the cats at the end! Worst parts: The slutty Mary character was the worst actress in the whole bit, totally miscast. The story was very bloated, and by the end I didn't really know/care what was going on.

So, there you have it. Seems like a fan-boy favorite, which is probably what they were going for.
