Back-to-back movies for fathers

As part of Father's Day special, HBO will air back-to-back movies "Father's Day" and "Man Of The House" this coming Sunday.

"Father's Day" stars Billy Crystal and Robin Williams. Jack Lawrence (Billy Crystal) is a smart lawyer whose ex-girlfriend tells him that he is the father of her child.

Then there is Dale Putley (Robin Williams) who is a writer. He meets the same ex-girlfriend who tells him her kid is actually his. One day Jack and Dale organise a face-to-face meeting where they discover that they have been told the same story and now there is a question of who the real father is.

They finally manage to find their inebriated love-struck son. Soon after they bring him back to their hotel room, their "son" escapes and Jack and Dale must use teamwork to find him again, bring him home, and find out which one of them is the real father.

"Man Of The House" has an impressive cast of Oscar-winning American actor Tomy Lee Jones and actress Christina Milian. When five cheerleaders witness the murder of a drug bust informant, they require round-the-clock surveillance to prevent themselves from being the next victims. So tough-as-nails Texas Ranger Lieutenant Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones), masquerades as their assistant coach and camps out on their campus. Sharp has to look after the girls. He soon learns that it is not an easy task to keep the uncontrollable girls in line and out of harm's way. -- Madhur Tankha
