Dad (1989 Gary David Goldberg & scr)

Eighteen years after Jack directed Walter Matthau as an old man in Kotch (his only directorial work) he himself takes on the geriatric role, aged 64, in great makeup (coutesey Dick Smith). Ted Danson, sporting an unlikely hairdo, is his son, Ethan Hawke is his son, Olympia Dukakis the unsympathetic grandmother.

Feel story could have been better - not sure the stuff about invented / repressed memories is credible.

James Horner's music is overly sugary.
