All Dads have a fear of losing control.
We struggle noisily, seeking affirmation for our efforts to keep the injustices of the world at bay.
Yet, sometimes the world places us in a situation from which there is no escape, no recourse, no way to purchase or bludgeon or otherwise wrangle out way out of. This is the Dad Nightmare, from which there is only one path back to the head of the table: we must invoke the (extended) family.
Ralph Macchio is no dad, but he is all of us, but he lives our deepest fear. And he knows our deepest secret - there is another, better than us, smarter than us, and possessed of a partner who exceeds even him. And gets an Oscar for doing so. Join the Dads in Alabama for Johnathan Lynn's existential legal drama, 1992's MY COUSIN VINNY.
