Dad is a 1989 comedy drama based on William Wharton's novel of the same name. The movie stars Jack Lemmon, Ted Danson, Olympia Dukakis, Kevin Spacey & Ethan Hawke, and was written and directed by Gary David Goldberg. It was produced by Amblin Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures.
A busy, "always-on-the-run" executive (Danson) learns during a meeting that his mother may be dying and rushes home to her side. He ends up being his father's caretaker and becomes closer to him than ever before. In the process, he teaches his father to be more independent which causes problems with the man's wife (Dukakis). Estranged from his own son (Hawke), the executive comes to realize what has been missing in his own life.
Jack Lemmon was given much critical acclaim for his performance. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for his work in the film.
