Dad Wanted

About This Movie

So, 'Dad Wanted' taps into that classic father-daughter dynamic but with a twist. You’ve got this adrenaline-fueled tween who’s itching to throw herself into BMX racing, but her mom's got a firm 'no' in place. It’s not just about the race; it’s a coming-of-age vibe, with a sprinkle of rebellion. The performances are solid, especially the dad figure, who feels like a wild card that somehow makes everything click. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it holds its own as a modest drama. The practical effects of the BMX scenes are decent enough to bring that thrill without overshadowing the personal stakes. A nice exploration of risk and the need for approval, really.
