Father’s Day is on June 16, this year and many of you are probably in the process of making plans to spend the day with your dad or grandfathers. Whether you’re going to dinner or having a quiet night in, Amazon has tons of movies that would be perfect to watch with your dad or just to be grateful to the father figure in your life! Here are a few you should check out.
10. Daddy’s Home 2
Technically, Daddy’s Home 2 is more of a Christmas movie than a Father’s Day film, but it features dads and lots of dads fighting so why not have a little Christmas in June? The film is a follow-up to the 2015 movie starring Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell, who return to reprise their roles for the sequel.
Dusty (Wahlberg) and Brad (Ferrell) have worked out a system to co-dad the kids as Brad has married Dusty’s ex-wife. But their delicate system gets thrown off-kilter when their fathers arrive for the holidays. John Lithgow stars as Brad’s father, Don, and Mel Gibson plays Dusty’s dad, Kurt.
9. Yours, Mine, and Ours
Yours, Mine, and Ours stars Dennis Quaid as Frank Beardsley, a coast guard who is raising eight kids on his own. He meets Helen North (Rene Russo), an ex-flame who has 10 children! The two rekindle their relationship but their children aren’t happy about the idea of living together and try to sabotage their parents before they can get married.
If you liked Cheaper by the Dozen, I would recommend checking this film out. It’s a cute family-friendly film that might be nice to watch in celebration of dads everywhere! Plus it stars a lot of other familiar faces like Drake Bell, Sean Faris, Miranda Cosgrove, and Danielle Panabaker.
