Just in time for Father's Day!
"About My Father" is an entertaining movie! It is a perfect light comedic movie to watch in the summertime when things have slowed down and there's not much going on! This is similar to the movies that the Farrelly brothers made back in the day. Whoever did the casting did a great job starting with Sebastian Maniscalco one of the best standup comedians in the biz and of course all-time great actor, Robert De Niro. One weird casting note about this movie is it appears that the Mom Kim Cattrall doesn't seem much older than the daughter Leslie Bibb, that part to me was a little bit unbelievable where it seems like the daughter looked almost as old as the mother, but kudos to Kim Cattrall for looking great in this movie! I am pretty sure you will enjoy this movie! Take care & Happy Father's Day! 🏌🏻 -Brad P. In Cleveland. - hazzaboombatty - 13 January 2024
Unwatchable
I found this to be absolutely and completely unfunny, risible dross. I love Sebastian's stand up a great deal and WAS a huge de Niro fan for many many years but I'm sorry this just falls completely flat. Basically zero laughs. The shining is funnier than this. Goodfella is funnier than this! Seven - is funnier than this!!. How could they not wring a few laughs out of this awesome story, Ben stiller did it on meet the parents but I would not recommend firing this one up. I have to report I couldn't continue to the end. Life is too short. Watch an old de Niro, like midnight run, or some of Maniscalcos stand up. This is a complete dud.
