Even though there are a dozen reasons to give this film less than five stars, I am a sucker for father and son movies. This one is about average for that genre, which has been done a few hundred times in Hollywood history. Some are extravagant productions, such as Superman, which has some great father and son moments; others are independent films, which generally give us more well-rounded motivations and characters. This film falls somewhere in the middle of those variables; consequently, the five-star rating. The father is the more interesting of the two protagonists, and Oswalt does a competent job here.

Seriously, there is nothing to redeem this movie. It is not healthy to forgive parents or partners who operate on this level of toxicity. I actually think this film borders on dangerous on its portrayal of this father/son relationship as well as the father's relationship with his own girlfriend. The amount damage this father inflicts on his son and others before he "learns his lesson" is way over the top. His choices could have literally caused his son's death more than once but he keeps going on and on in his deceptions, hurting everyone in his path. Yet we're supposed to believe he's worth it.

Congratulations to the director and writer of this film for steering his movie down the delicate path to land this story. It came across as honest, and I forgot I was watching famous stand up comedian Patton Oswalt and cast and instead got immersed in a far fetched but believable story. They sold it well and the motives of the characters were true all the way through. The acting and direction were spot on, and the script took you places you didn't feel comfortable going but pulled it off each time, turning in a very funny and very human story that felt real and had something to say and worthy messages and thoughts to offer. Also of note was the editing and music choices, and the inventive way it chose to deal with the text conversations. It worked really well, and allowed the actors to shine. This really is a standout story and film, a challenging movie in a sea of predictable and shallow visual candy. Well done to everyone who made this movie and got this movie made. I hope it gets the viewing audience it deserves.

Yes, it's super cringe, it has moments of hilarity and moments of sad, but it's all from a good place. Great acting throughout and pacing of the film was spot on. Also enjoyed the soundtrack, particularly the acoustic piece for the end credits by Sonoda. Definitely give this a watch if you fancy something different. Perhaps not suited to those easily offended. Didn't really want to say anything other than that, but it's saying: Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 600 characters. Yep, it's still saying: Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 600 characters.

Is your favorite episode of the office (us) the dinner party episode where Michael and Jan bicker at each other? Do you slow down your car at not fatal car accidents, chuckle and say dumb ass? Do you say things that purposely lack social refinement, then smile waiting for company to overt their eyes? Died this make you a horrible person? Maybe the worst. Then again all those are items I enjoy. Matter of fact I hate seeing beats of a joke prior to the joke. It's uncomfortable for me when someone tries to be funny, delusion-ally thinks they're funny but they're not. That's I love my dad. This is NOT Father's Day movie fir WASPs whom never understand jokes. Maybe for my kid and I. It is absurd, but at its core it's about a dad that loves his son and wants to be part of his life. We enjoyed it.

Props to second-time writer / director James Morosini for superb little true-tale dramedy "I Love My Dad". When dead-beat excuse-maker Patton Oswalt (excellent as ever) gets blocked from all contact by his troubled teen son (Morosini himself - terrific) he cat-fishes the lad with a fake profile based on local waitress Claudia Sulewski (also great). From there the plot thickens (dragging in Oswalt's circle like Lil Rey Howery & Rachel Dratch (very funny)), sometimes hilariously, but ultimately touchingly... even tragically? It's an engaging tale but what sets it apart is Morisini's fresh, original approach to it's writing. Although it's not flawless, it's certainly very good.

This was a lot better than I expected. Even though I already rate Patton Oswalt very highly, this still surpassed my expectations. The story and plot isn't anything really original, but the way it's written is brilliant. I was really impressed with the way they made things intertwine. I had to do a double-take when I saw Lil Rel Howery...as I didn't know he was in this...and immediately thought 'woah, that guy looks just like LRH!'. Unfortunately, he was way underused. Overall, a very competent film. It's not perfect...and it needs polishing in places, but overall it was very watchable and enjoyable. Ps- Nice touch using real home video footage of the lead actor as a young boy.

I had a fun time watching this one. Writer/director/star Morosini did a great job here. I never felt bored during the movie. Every scene was cut the right way to keep the movie running along without dragging. There are some emotional moments with the dad and his son with the issues the son has. It never really explains why the dad was such an absentee father, especially with a son who is suicidal. You've just gotta go with the idea that he was a terrible dad and just wanted to get back into his son's life somehow. I'd watch it again.
