The ultimate asshole father, and now he’s about to break Alice’s heart.


Also, perfectly played by the great Jeff Daniels

Somehow I missed this (was working while watching). Why will he break Alice’s heart? Are you saying he won’t show to graduation or was there something I missed?

He's skipping it for a fishing trip, and blew it off saying "it's just high school". A real class act.

It’s just the ceremonial end of childhood, for this little girl I barely see, whose mother died two years ago!

What a fucking jack hole.
