About This Movie

How to Get Daddy to Change is a 1978 comedy family film directed by Marie Poledňáková. This film continues the adventures from the How to Pull Out a Whale’s Tooth Collection, featuring a mix of humor and family dynamics. It offers insight into a father-son relationship amid idyllic countryside settings.

The film follows the characters from the previous installment, How to Rip Whale Tooth, as they embark on a holiday in the countryside. The story centers on little Vashko, who is eager to bond with his father through rock climbing, but this shared interest leads to conflicts between his parents. The setting includes a rock town, adding a picturesque backdrop to the unfolding family drama.

With a runtime of 90 minutes, this film showcases the complexities of relationships within a family while delivering comedic moments. The cast includes notable actors such as Tomáš Holý and Jana Preissová, contributing to the film's appeal. Directed by Marie Poledňáková, the film serves as an interesting entry in the family comedy genre, particularly for fans of Czech cinema from this era.

This film was released on various formats, but finding it on VHS can be a bit tricky as it wasn't widely distributed. There’s a niche audience for these family comedies from the late 70s, and collectors often seek it out for its nostalgic value and connection to its predecessor. The combination of its quirky humor and family-centric storylines makes it an interesting piece for those who enjoy exploring lesser-known cinematic gems.
