From Quiz Love Story

Answer: Jenny's father

Phil doesn't believe in titles like 'Dad' or 'Mister.' He's enlightened, and everything. I think he's supposed to be the comic relief, but I'm not sure, because he wasn't comic. He was, however, just about the sole likeable person in the entire movie. (IMHO)
