Max Dugan Returns
Nora McPhee (four-time Oscar®-nominee Marsha Mason) is a widowed high school English teacher with a falling-apart house, a broken-down car and a headed-for-trouble teenage son (Matthew Broderick in his movie debut). One rainy night, her long-lost father Max Dugan (two-time Oscar®-winner Jason Robards) arrives on her doorstep with six months to live and $687,000 in sort-of stolen money. But even if Nora can keep Max's true identity a secret from his curious grandson and an amorous-though-suspicious police detective (Donald Sutherland), will this smooth-talking con man find a way to change the luck and lives of the family he never had?

LOVED THIS ONE! - Whirlwind
Interesting story of a grandfather returning to see his daughter and grandson and showering gifts on them. Fast moving with a young Matthew Broderick and a younger Donald Sutherland in it. Jason Robards Jr is Max Dugan and he's great with the dialogue and funny. Loved it when I first saw it and still enjoyed it when I recently saw it. Might not be so good for a family with younger children because of the language but good story and good ending for older ones!
