T. J. Lowther as Philip "Buzz" Perry leaning on Kevin Costner as Robert "Butch" Haynes in A Perfect World
The Big Picture Tom Hanks may have the reputation of being “America’s dad,” but there probably isn’t another living actor who has contributed more to the subgenre of “dad movies” than Kevin Costner. In addition, starring in many films perfectly suited to entertaining the paternal figures within everyone’s life, Costner has crafted empathetic depictions of fatherhood, ranging from the baseball-loving farmer of Field of Dreams to the heavy-hearted Pa Kent in Man of Steel.
A Perfect World PG-13CrimeDrama A kidnapped boy strikes up a friendship with his captor, an escaped convict on the run from the law, while the search for him continues. Costner shows how Hayes copes with the newfound responsibilities of mentoring a child. Initially, his intention is only to protect Phillip from any abuse that Terry might inflict upon him; this desire is quickly nullified when Phillip proves himself more than capable of standing up for himself. The greater shock comes when Hayes realizes that the young boy actually looks up to him as a mentor.

Although Hayes is a rather gruff anti-hero who dislikes discussing his personal trauma, Costner does a great job at complicating his characterization of masculinity. Hayes quickly learns that in order to properly instruct Phillip about the world that they live in, he needs to be as straightforward as possible.
