Superdad

Finally on DVD!
THE STORY: Charlie (Bob Crane) is a succesful lawyer who is worried and overprotective of his 18 year old daughter Wendy (Kathleen Cody). Recently graduated from High School, she hangs around with her surfer pals, listening to music, cruising, and having fun, but Dad wants her to get serious and get in the perfect law college, and improve the quality of her friends. He attempts to find a husband for her, and of course his choices don't match her own ideas. Her childhood sweetheart Bart (Kurt Russel) is still in the picture for one thing, and she is in love with him. So Dad embarks on an effort to get closer to his daughter in order to influence her and does the things she likes to do with hilarious results - including multiple injuries. The scenes of him screaming while being pulled on water skis alone are worth seeing this movie for, trust me, even if you didn't see the rest.. But see it all.

BEHIND THE SCENES & TRIVIA: The film required quite a bit of location shooting...
