Credits

Rated: PG; Genre: Comedy; With: Bob Saget and Stuart Pankin

FATHER AND SCOUT Bob Saget, Stuart Pankin (1994, New Line, PG, priced for rental) Saget stars as an urbane quiche eater who tries to bond with his son (Brian Bonsall) on a group camping weekend in this movie (shown last fall on ABC). The blows to his non-machismo have a familiar feel: Out of his indoor element, this wuss sinks a canoe, steps on a jellyfish, and faints inside a cave. Still, Saget gives the outing a fairly fresh spin, with a stream of wisecracks that only occasionally sound like stand-up shtick. Not even some platitudes about the true meaning of manhood (or is it fatherhood?) can completely spoil the fun of this camping trip. B-
