Dad Wanted follows the story of a 10-year-old adventurous girl who, in defiance of her mothers wishes, hires a man to pose as her dad so she can participate in a BMX race. The film, set in Mexico and presented in Spanish with English subtitles, explores the unlikely bond between two strangers - the young girl and a 45-year-old man. While the central theme is well-executed, some parents may find it uncomfortable as it revolves around a young girl enlisting an adult stranger to play her father. Despite their belief that he is a father figure, the secretive relationship between the man and the young girl raises concerns, even though all parties involved ultimately benefit from it. Dad Wanted features elements of bullying and includes strong language such as f**k, along with milder profanities like ass, hell, and damn. Additionally, one character copes with grief by drinking excessively after losing his young daughter. With standout performances from Natalia Coronado, Juan Pablo Medina, and Silvia Navarro under the skillful direction of Javier Colinas, this film offers an intriguing take on family dynamics and unconventional relationships.
