Dad DVD Summary
Looking like death warmed over,
Jack Lemmon
plays the aging father of
Ted Danson
.
Always proud of being able to fend for himself,
Lemmon
despises being reliant upon others, but his enfeebled state does not allow him his old independence.
For his part,
Danson
resents having to care for his dad as he would for an infant.
Things take an upward turn when a "Doctor Feelgood" (
Zakes Mokae
) enters the scene, pumping
Lemmon
full of self-confidence.
But then
Lemmon
is stricken with cancer, an affliction that he can't jolly himself out of.
As the reality of his imminent death strikes everyone around him,
Lemmon
retreats into fantasy, recalling the past happy events of his life as though they're happening here and now.
The rest of the family humors their dying dad, and in so doing draws closer together than they've been in years.
TV sitcom maestro
Gary David Goldberg
co-produced and directed
Dad
, and also adapted the screenplay from the novel by
William Wharton
.
