Superdad

About This Movie

So, 'Superdad' is this quirky little comedy from the early '70s that has a certain charm to it, you know? It’s about a father trying to connect with his daughter as she’s about to head off to college. The pacing is all over the place, but that’s part of its charm—like it’s not trying too hard to be anything other than a lighthearted romp. The performances, especially from the dad, carry a genuine warmth that feels relatable. There’s a mix of silly antics and some surprisingly poignant moments as he navigates the challenge of keeping her from what he perceives as a bad influence. It has this distinct vibe of the era, blending familial themes with a carefree spirit that just feels like a snapshot of time.

'Superdad' has had a bit of a checkered history in terms of home releases, with some obscure formats floating around but not much in the way of high-quality editions. It might not be the most sought-after title, but there are pockets of collectors who appreciate its offbeat humor and nostalgic quality. If you find an original VHS or any early DVD releases, those can be interesting pieces for your collection, especially given how few people seem to talk about it nowadays.
