Getting Even with Dad

Getting Even with Dad (1994) is an American family comedy directed by Howard Deutch that you can watch online on iFILM. Macaulay Culkin plays Timmy, an eleven-year-old who shows up at his estranged father Ray's door at the worst possible moment — Ray, played by Ted Danson, is mid-plan on stealing a cache of rare coins. Timmy gets there first, hides the loot, and makes his father an offer: the coins come back only after Ray takes him to ball games, amusement parks and all the things an absent dad owes a kid.

Ray goes along with it, grudgingly at first, and the film earns its heart honestly from there. It's a lighter take on the con-man-goes-straight premise, with Danson's exasperated charm doing most of the heavy lifting alongside Culkin's deadpan negotiating. Glenn Headly rounds out the cast as a detective closing in on Ray. Stream Getting Even with Dad online on iFILM.
