电影中十大经典“单亲爸爸”
Father’s Day is almost here and it’s time to celebrate those dedicated dads in our lives. While many devoted fathers love their kids unconditionally—taking them fishing, showing them how to shoot hoops and half-jokingly threatening potential boyfriends—others also fill the tough role of primary caregiver, be it as a single parent, divorced dad or widower.

Check out our favorite single fathers from film who have all gone to great lengths for their little ones.
