I love this movie so much

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

I love it! Alex is so cheeky( like normal) as he's in my class so I know exactly what it's like being him) he doesn't show off at all and is exactly like what he is in Father Figure. He's a really good actor and goes to Jackie Palmer, I think he's hilarious in school and out (he's in my class) He's brilliant and I really do hope I can see him on TV more often. We're like frenemies at school we pretend we're against each other but inside we know we have a special connection. We tell each other jokes but Alex ALWAYS tells the best 1nes. I love him he's hilarious and when we go to secondary school I'll miss him.If you don't watch him you should. He doesn't need to act he's totally him in Father Figure!

Like a twerking vicar,"Father Figure" is one of those hideously embarrassing phenomena best viewed between slightly parted fingers - if at all. A re - run of the most awful racist homophobic comic series of the 70's would be preferable to any but the most masochistic of TV audiences. One might be forgiven for thinking that because Miss P.Mclynn is in the cast that "Father Figure",set in London's Irish community,might at lest benefit from her presence but not even she is capable of breathing life into such abysmal material. We have the not exactly original plot involving a househusband feeling emasculated by his career - minded wife and appalling children and surrounded by friends and relatives who the writers would no doubt refer to as "wacky",but who,in truth are the result of lazy plagiarism and an insult to the audience's intelligence. The performances are dire,the children being exceptionally inept I'm afraid.I can't believe it was conceived in the same century that has produced "Outnumbered". "Father Figure" has succeeded in the difficult task of making "My Family" seem like high art.
