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.

I Love My Dad is an enjoyable movie. The fun premise is used in creative ways. I laughed a good amount, although there were a few very unfunny parts. I like the story and there are some solid performances. I had a good time with this one-time-viewing type of movie. (1 viewing, 8/10/2022)
I only stumbled across this as it was featured on Sky, so I thought I'd give it a go. I never read what this was about, but man was I surprised!
This is really awkward to watch, based on the theme, but this is a seriously great movie with a brilliant cast. Edgy, funny and to think this was based on true events that the director experienced, makes this movie is more great to watch.
In the world of mobile phones, they can be a saviour or our biggest enemy, as this movie demonstrates. A very dark comedy that will keep you on the edge of your seats from start to finish. Highly recommended but be warned!

I'm surprised to say this about a comedy, but this was The best movie I've seen in a decade. It's so much more than a comedy. Down to every little detail, it was brilliantly done. Cannot believe this story is true and it makes it that much better!
The storytelling was captivating and keeps moving along without any added bloat. The music created for this was perfect. I can't say enough good things about this film and it may have been patent Oswald's best performance. All of the acting was incredible but Patton's probably the only one you've seen before.
James Morosini will be doing big things.

My family spent a good amount of time trying to find a movie to watch. After watching the trailer to "I Love My Dad", we thought this was going to be a fun, and hilarious movie. Well, unfortunately, all the best jokes are in the trailer. And since you already seen these jokes, there is nothing left to laugh at. "I Love My Dad" is closer to a drama than a comedy. It is a drama that is hard to relate to because the situation is bizarre. The texting conversations show how the son visualizes the girl, which makes the movie more watchable than if it just took place over texting. As a drama, I don't think the movie works.
