My Father the Hero

My Father the Hero (1994) is a Franco-American comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Steve Miner. Gérard Depardieu reprises his role from the 1991 French original, playing André — a divorced dad who takes his teenage daughter Nicole (Kathleen Heigl in an early screen role) on a Bahamas holiday hoping to reconnect.

Nicole has other plans. She tells a boy she likes that her father is actually her secret lover, and the story spirals from there. André is somewhere between baffled and mortified as the whole resort buys in. The film runs on Depardieu's unflappable comic timing and Heigl's knack for teen embarrassment — a light, breezy watch that doesn't overstay its ninety minutes.
