Features: DVD
Two Billy Crystal comedies, FATHER'S DAY and FORGET PARIS, are included in this DVD 2-Pack.FATHER'S DAY: Jack Lawrence (Billy Crystal) is a lawyer, the kind always ready to help you get what's coming to him. Dale Putley (Robin Williams) is a shambles, a minor writer and major goofball. They have nothing in common--until they team up to track down a runaway teen each believes might be his son. Fathers' Day is "the mother of all comedy events" (Pat Collins, WWOR-TV), pairing two of the funniest people on the planet and directed by Ivan Reitman (Dave, Ghostbusters). Crystal quips and Williams connips as they bicker, bond...and plunge deep into that uncharted neighborhood called parenthood. In this neighborhood, there's a laugh around every corner. FORGET PARIS: Mickey knows about marriage. He knows it won't work if one partner is happy and the other is miserable. No, a successful marriage requires both to be miserable. Love is such sweet misery in this witty, joyous tale of when Mickey (Billy Crystal), a basketball referee, met Ellen (Debra Winger), an airline employee. They fall head over croissants for each other in Paris, then reluctantly move on to pursue their careers, only to reunite passionately and make feverish domestic-bliss arrangements. Now the sticky part: making sure marriage doesn't cure their love. Produced and directed by Crystal, co-written by him and Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (City Slickers), and shimmering with the polished luster of co-stars Joe Mantagna, Julie Kavner and William Hickey, Forget Paris is a comic romance to remember.
"[Forget] Crystal...is intelligent and howlingly funny at times... " Barbara Shulgasser, San Francisco Examiner
"[Father's] An irresistible comic team. Dependably zany." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"[Forget] Wonderful. Filled with romantic moments that ring true, and with great big laughs." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
