Scattering Dad (1998 TV Movie)
8/10
A feel-good TV movie starring Andy Griffith.
21 September 2014
This is a TV movie featuring some popular television stars including Matlock's Andy Griffith and Little Men's Michelle Burke. Burke and Lucinda Jenney play sisters who, along with their anxiety-plagued mom (Olympia Dukakis), attempt to fulfill their dad/husband Hiram's (Griffith) wish of having his ashes scattered in a place called Mountains Somewhere. Their quest and personal problems are aided by Hiram's ghost.

The acting was pretty good and the plot was somewhat fast-paced, keeping the story engaging what from I remembered. Hiram's ghost aiding his family as the sisters' relationship grow closer and the mother deals with her anxiety provide some heart-felt drama and some feel-good emotions. It's a perfect TV movie to bring the family together.
