8.0The literal translation of the title of this movie is: I also have a dad. Although this movie is a family movie, it is actually very good for adults too, particularly for fathers. In the recent Chinese rapid economic boom, everybody is concentrated on making more money by working extra jobs or extra long hours, and as a result, the family is ignored. Of course this applies to both men and women but in China, it is often the man who is the bread winner of the house. This movie advocates the fact that family should not be sacrificed for making financial gains and it did a good job by depicting in the eyes of young kids. - zzmale @ zzmale
