What happens
Fathers' Day is a 1997 American comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Nastassja Kinski. It is a remake of the 1983 French film Les Compères. In the film, Collette Andrews (Kinski) enlists two former lovers, cynical lawyer Jack Lawrence (Crystal) and lonely, ex-hippie, suicidal writer Dale Putley (Williams) to help her search for her runaway teenage son Scott by telling each man that he is the father. When Jack and Dale run into each other and find out what is happening, they work together to find Scott and determine the identity of the actual father. The film features an appearance by the musical groups Sugar Ray and the Muffs. It was released by Warner Bros. on May 9, 1997 and was a critical and commercial failure, grossing $35.7 million against an $85 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
