New Movie Dads
Movie man John Cusack demonstrates that fiction is nicer with his latest, Martian Child. It is his third on-screen daddy role this year where the real-life bachelor plays a warm-every-potential-wife/mom's-heart concerned parent.
It is true that not every father created in the imagination is more wonderful than the ones of flesh and blood, but Cusack certainly comes off better than reclaimed bodybuilder Bill Friedman, a father who left his son behind soon after his birth, and the focus of the son's documentary, "The Bodybuilder and I." "The B&I" was a fave of those in Halifax, Nova Scotia in September, claiming the prize as best Canadian documentary at Hot Docs and the Atlantic Film Festival. But that doesn't mean the factional father is as favored as the fictional one.
