maybe you’re not such a bad dad after
all okay okay
got me welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 bad dad’s gone good in movies
are you playing with us no because I’m
busy for this list we’re taking a look
at fathers in movies that don’t always
do well by their children but redeem
themselves and prove their love in the
end it started about that bowl of fur
that just puts a big smile on my face as
you may expect a spoiler alert maybe in
order since we’re revealing the full
arcs of these characters number 10 let
you read liar liar I can’t boy as the
title of this Jim Carrey comedy suggests
lying is in Fletcher’s nature he is a
lawyer after all he’s constantly making
empty promises to his five-year-old son
even on his birthday I wish that for
only one day dad couldn’t tell a lie so
when young max wishes for his father to
go one day without fibbing Fletcher has
no choice but to abide
well that’s because you have big jugs I
mean your boobs are huge
I mean I want to squeeze him oh mama
while the setup makes leeway for great
comedy it also opens Fletcher’s eyes to
the truth that he’s been a bad father I
love you more than anything else in the
world
and you know it’s true say it wasn’t
true when Fletcher is at risk of losing
max forever he strives to prove that he
can keep a promise even if it kills him
I have no further witnesses your honor
number nine Henry Jones senior Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade may be sure
Junior Oh call me that please the first
ever James Bond playing Indiana Jones
dad that actually sounds about right
about your archery it’s a race against
evil despite sharing a common love for
adventure archaeology and women Henry
Jones rarely bonded with his son
throughout his youth instead opting to
teach him self-reliance did I ever tell
you to eat up go to bed wash your ears
do your homework
no I respected your privacy and I taught
you self-reliance nevertheless India of
course stages a daring rescue upon
learning that Nazis have captured his
father let me kill him now no we failed
to recover the pages from Brody we’ll
need them alive even after saving his
ungrateful dad though
Henry senior persists in undermining his
son and referring to him as Junior dad
test
when it really counts though Henry shows
Indiana that is love for him is even
more powerful and crisis than the Holy
Grail
number eight royal Tenenbaum The Royal
Tenenbaums thank you what have you got I
got a pretty bad case of cancer even
with a better father figure
the Tenenbaum children would still
likely be a dysfunctional bunch oh I’m
kidding call me Pappy okay come on let’s
shag ass that being said the fact that
royal Tenenbaum abandoned his family for
22 years certainly didn’t help
everyone’s against me yes your fault man
yeah I know but damn it I want this
family to love me well his children are
all successful they grow up to be
overprotective suicidal and unable to
express emotion I love you
with nowhere else to turn
royal eventually comes crawling back to
his estranged wife and kids fake cancer
diagnosis in hand I never did stop
loading you by the way although some are
understandably unwilling to take him
back at first royal does theoretically
rescue his family from the wreckage of a
destroyed sinking battleship
I don’t where Ted I know you have jersey
number seven patty :
warrior no more women for me tally yeah
must be hard to find a girl who can take
a punch nowadays redemption is a
familiar theme in almost every boxing
movie and warrior is no exception when I
got sober iron man find you and is that
one of the 12 steps Oh does a guy like
you get 24 in an oscar-nominated
performance Nick Nolte plays patty
Conlan a recovering alcoholic
the tore his family apart long ago well
it’s good to know you’re sorry Bob
it goes a long way now pati wishes to
make things right with his two grown
sons while joel edgerton s brendan is
open to reconciliation Tom Hardy’s Tommy
is more reluctant doesn’t I’ve seen it
you trust me I understand
spare me the compassionate father
routine pop Hattie knows that he may
never completely atone for his past
mistakes but he can at least take solace
in seeing his boys forgive each other in
the end thought maybe you know we could
could break bread you know just open
some lines of communication you got two
lines of communication you got the
telephone in the post-office number six
Sonny Koufax Big Daddy how come you’re
not going because I don’t have to go if
you’re a five-year-old having Adam
Sandler’s Sonny as a father biological
or otherwise might sound awesome hey
yappy if you end the conversation I’ll
get you an Egg McMuffin
how about a sausage McMuffin with hash
browns you got a deal in Big Daddy
Julian gets to eat ketchup as a meal
never take a bath and basically do
whatever he wants
good luck walking down the street that’s
all I can say Sonny soon finds however
that letting Julian call all the shots
might be damaging in the long run please
don’t make me go know what else to do I
won’t play the kangaroo song anymore the
manchild gives the actual child some
much-needed guidance
stepping up as a father and adult and
proving that being a dad doesn’t
necessarily require shared DNA I know
this is the right thing to do dad
because I would die for this kid just so
he wouldn’t have to feel one ounce of
sadness
while many still judge Sonny’s parental
abilities he demonstrates his love for
Julian in a cheesy yet admittedly
touching courtroom scene I want you to
be my dad Sonny I know I don’t Path
number five
Mason Evans senior boyhood I mean
everybody’s just changing so much
Mason senior isn’t the worst father on
the planet especially compared to Mason
Jr and Samantha’s various stepdads you
know she could have been a little more
patient while more forgiving would have
saved me that parade of drunken assholes
he clearly loves his kids looks forward
to their visitations and even writes
them a heartfelt lullaby regard
Plus Mason senior is also an
irresponsible slacker
exactly however we slowly see him become
progressively more reliable and active
in his children’s lives oh I also cared
to you and every day of your life that
you spend crying over some silly girl is
a complete waste of time
it just goes to show that some men
mature the minute their children are
born but others need a little more time
to grow up and you believe they’re both
out of high school no no I can’t
number four stoic the vast How to Train
Your Dragon oh why can’t you follow the
simplest autumn when your fathers are
brawny renowned Viking like stoic the
vast it isn’t easy living up to
expectations stoic often has trouble
relating to a scrawny wimp of a son
hiccup
this is serious son when you carry this
axe you carry all of us with you which
means you walk like us you talk like us
matters only get more complicated
between them when stoic learns his boy
has not been fighting dragons as is the
way but has instead been training one
which hiccup claims to be peaceful
while stoic is forced to disown his son
doing so visibly breaks his heart you’re
not my son in the eleventh hour this dad
realizes that hiccup was right all along
embracing both his son and the beasts he
once hunted
I’m sorry but for everything
number three Ted Kramer Kramer vs Kramer
couldn’t stay anymore was because she
couldn’t stand me Billy Ted Kramer is
far from the perfect parent at the
beginning of this Best Picture winner
but unlike Billy’s mother at least he
didn’t just leave when things got tough
what do you call it a success the
marriage ended in divorce
I consider it less my failure than his
making the transition to full-time dad
while maintaining a job isn’t easy and
Ted even takes his frustration out on
Billy multiple times when Billy needs
him the most however Ted verifies that
being a father
is his top priority love you I love it
he refuses to let anything stand in the
way of raising his son even when his
ex-wife re-enters the picture I want my
son you can’t have number two grew
Despicable Me okay okay you got me
here’s a man that not only goes from bad
dad to good dad but he also goes from
bad guy to good guy we are going to
steal
is worth it
initially this supervillain is only
interested in adopting three orphaned
girls as a means to execute his evil
schemes
okay glottal scope like he doesn’t even
care when spikes seemingly impale one of
them he poked a hole in my juice box the
girls grow on groove oh and soon he
begins to question his outlook on life
now stealing the moon may be tempting
but making it to his children’s ballet
recital is just as important – hey what
is it you’re taking to the dance recital
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable mentions III had no idea
you could milk a cat oh yeah you can
milk anything with nipples
I have nipples Greg could you milk me if
there was one thing you can say about
Edward bloom is that I am a social
person ah what a predicament theories on
parenting and nurturing amongst
carnivores the frame the debate well
what are you doing where’s your phone
number one Darth Vader the Star Wars
franchise
Darth Vader might be a Sith Lord and he
might have blown up an entire planet to
give him credit though at least he
didn’t cut off his son’s hand oh wait
learning that his arch enemy is also his
dear old dad comes as a major shock to
Luke Skywalker and the audience me i but
that doesn’t stop Luke from trying to
pull Anakin Skywalker away from the dark
side nonetheless
if you only knew the power of the docks
eventually seeing the error of his ways
after pulling off some of the most evil
acts the galaxy had ever seen
Vader uses his last ounces of strength
to save his son reveal his face and say
goodbye go son leave it no you’re coming

to save you already do you agree with
