There is nothing inherently bad about The Father Thing, however there is nothing that notable about it apart from on the surface it tells a similar story to the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
After a meteor shower, some of the townsfolk in a Chicago suburb seems to have been replaced. A few people notice the strange behaviour. Charlie Cotrell (Jack Gore) has a shared love of baseball with his dad (Greg Kinnear) but then suspects that his dad has been taken over by an alien entity.
Charlie starts an online resistance movement and ropes in other school kids in the town to expose the aliens.
Maybe this story is a parable of kids growing up in a hostile adult world or households that have been split by divorce and the child inherits a substitute father or mother figure.
