The Chaperone

The Chaperone (2011) is a family action comedy from director Stephen Herek that you can watch online on iFILM. A just-released ex-con tries to become a real father and ends up chaperoning a school field trip to New Orleans.

Ray Bradstone used to be the best getaway driver in the business. Out of prison, he wants an honest life and a place in his daughter Sally's, but his old crew won't let go and the men he crossed are closing in. Tagging along on her class trip is the one spot nobody will think to look for him. Pro wrestler Paul "Triple H" Levesque plays Ray; Ariel Winter of Modern Family is Sally.

Herek, who made Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Mr. Holland's Opus, keeps it breezy — car chases and scuffles broken up by awkward dad jokes. It aims no higher than a relaxed family watch, and that's fine for a night when you want something light. Stream The Chaperone (2011) online on iFILM.
