5.0 out of 5 starsReally good 70s family movie
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2021
This has always been one of my favorite movies. A good Kurt Russell movie with Bob Crane (Hogans Heros). I am glad that it is now on dvd although a bit pricey.

2.0 out of 5 stars For die-hard "Hogan's Heroes" fans... and no one else!
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2004
Verified Purchase
For those whose only exposure to Bob Crane is "Hogan's Heroes" (or one of those "home movies"!) this mediocre Disney "comedy" is worth checking out. Col. Hogan is a straight character, always wise cracking, always sure of himself but not much depth. Crane's character here is a bit of a wimp with an efemminate scream! Crane doesn not exactly give an Acadamy Award performance here (the recycled Partrage Family script doesn't inspire) but it does prove that Crane could play someone other than Col. Hogan with a little versitillity.

2.0 out of 5 stars It annoyed me

Usually I like these sorts of movies, but this one annoyed me. I had to turn it off halfway through. Maybe it's because I was routing for the dad to succeed in getting his daughter split up with the loser guy and his crowd.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Peeping Tom!"
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2013
According to Wikipedia, Superdad was a critical and commercial failure. After viewing this movie, it's easy to see why. Whether a poor transfer to DVD or just sloppy camerawork in the first place, the opening sequences are almost impossible to make out. There's a poorly lit, ill-composed series of shots for the opening credits then a dark double exposure dream sequence with a "la-la-la" song that introduces the audience to an extremely sour malcontent (Bob Crane) who's entire outlook on life in general is one of suspicion and constant disapproval. "Those rotten kids, how could they grow up that way!?" The story is slight, another tedious explanation for the generation gap. Superdad (Bob Crane) is an obsessive control freak who has his daughter's life mapped out for her. This includes going to the right college, dumping all her fun-loving friends, and marrying the right guy, preferably someone rich with a high-power job. On cue, Nicholas Hammond (as Roger Rhinehurst) enters the fray. "He's the one for our Wendy." The bulk of the movie centers on a pompous Bob Crane and his character's attempt to micromanage his daughter's life. Some slapstick is involved requiring Crane to squeal at every opportunity, when he isn't squeezing his eyes tight and producing edicts he expects everyone to follow. The word tyrant comes easily to mind, as does the word unpleasant. There are very few moments of real fun in this movie. Barbara Rush, Joe Flynn, Dick Van Patten, and Kurt Russell are sorely wasted in roles that don't offer them any chance to show their talents.
Abysmal.

2.0 out of 5 stars Only for Nostalgia, or Bob Crane
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2011
I was curious about this movie only because of "Autofocus," the movie about Bob Crane's life and death that, whether or not entirely accurate, did not paint an especially attractive portrait of the actor who was apparently obsessed with a "swinging" lifestyle. (I was also curious about Crane because for a number of years I lived just blocks away from the condo in which he was murdered.) "Autofocus" indicated that this was Crane's effort at a theatrical comeback when, after Hogan's Heroes, he had trouble landing parts and was primarily relegated to dinner theater, and Disney was apparently so unenthusiastic about the film that it shelved it for the better part of a year. Having seen the movie, I think I understand Disney's reaction.
If you enjoyed this film as a youngster or teen and want to relive those halcyon days, you may well enjoy it. And no one can say it isn't "family fare." It certainly was an effort at a good, clean, fun, family film. Crane is the Dad who realizes he is losing touch with his daughter, who is soon off to college, and wants to be more involved in her life and shape her choices, encouraging her to jettison her high school friends--a group that seems pretty much straight out of Scooby Doo or the films of the '70s in which the fun-loving "gang" hangs out, goes to the beach, and engages in generally harmless frolics--and to go to a "good" college and not the "City College" that seems the norm among her friends. Of course, Dad blunders his way through most of these efforts, looking foolish as he attempts to water ski and play football with the gang at the beach, and his efforts to deceive his daughter about a scholarship to get her into the good school are exposed, which of course alienates her even further. Since this is a comedy, all works out well, and her high school sweetheart (Kurt Russell) is exposed as more than a cut above anything Dad had imagined.
The biggest problems with the movie are that is isn't very funny and it is always predictable (so I don't believe the summary above gives anything away). Dad can't water ski well and makes a fool of himself. Hilarity. Dad goes to college to spy on his daughter and ends up arrested as a peeping Tom after looking in the wrong window and trampolining into a swimming pool. Side splitting. Dad has a confrontation with a "hippie artist" who wants to marry the daughter and they end up covered in paint and doused in San Francisco Bay. Uncontrollable laughter. Finally. the limo breaks down and Dad has to ride to daughter's wedding in the back of a deli truck which leaves him smelling like, well, the back of a deli truck. Big laughs.
It probably isn't fair to expect a lot from a Disney movie of the early '70s when family films were few and far between. But I don't see most adults getting much of a kick out of this movie. It is too cliched and predictable and just not funny. Crane does a decent job in the lead, and the cast includes some interesting faces--Joe Flynn, Barbara Rush, Kurt Russell, Bruno Kirby, and others. But unless you are starved for family fare, or simply want to relive an old "favorite," I wouldn't go out of my way to see it, much less spend the $20 or $30 bucks that DVD copies seem to be going for.
