I Love My Dad (2022)

Review by Rob-O-Cop

I Love My Dad

8/10

the perfect uncomfortable tone.

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.
