Better Than What The Critics Said!
‘Father Figures’ is no great movie. But it isn’t a bad movie either. At least not as bad as the critics called it. Its, at its very core, a very watchable comedy, that, believe it or not, has got a heart too.‘Father Figures’ Synopsis: Upon learning that their mother has been lying to them for years about their allegedly deceased father, two fraternal twin brothers hit the road in order to find him.
‘Father Figures’ is a tale of two brothers, who go on a journey to find their real dad, but end up exploring each other more than they could’ve imagined. And this story, though monotonous after a point, has some funny jokes that land & the banter between its brothers, has moments that evoke mirth & some genuine emotion too. I found myself emotionally connected in the film’s concluding moments, which I least expected too. Having said that, there is no denying that ‘Father Figures’ gets repetitive & even some of its jokes don’t land. Also, the length could’ve been trimmed by 10-15 minutes.
Justin Malen’s Screenplay is a mixed bag, but there are some nice things here, that leave a mark. Lawrence Sher’s Direction is adequate. Cinematography is satisfactory. Editing could’ve been tighter. Art & Costume Design are standard.
Performance-Wise: Owen Wilson & Ed Helms are extremely likable. Both of the terrific actors add a lot to their roles & excel in the comedic & emotional bits. The Legendary Glenn Close appears in a cameo as the mother of the boys & as usual, lends grace to the part. Among the dads, Terry Bradshaw is fun to watch, J. K. Simmons wild & The Great Christopher Walken gets barely anything to do. Ving Rhames & Katt Williams are funny.
On the whole, ‘Father Figures’ is an entirely watchable comedy, that has its pros & cons. Not a bad Sunday noon watch!
Can’t think of anything substantial to complain about.
‘FATHER FIGURES’: Four Stars (Out of Five)A comedy starring Owen Wilson and Ed Helms as two adult fraternity twin brothers, that go on a road trip together to find out who their true biological father is. The movie was directed by debut feature filmmaker Lawrence Sher, and it was written by Justin Malen (who also co-wrote the 2016 Christmas comedy flick ‘OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY’). It costars Glenn Close, Katt Williams, Terry Bradshaw, J.K. Simmons, Christopher Walken, Ving Rhames, Harry Shearer and June Squibb. The film has gotten mostly negative reviews from critics, and it’s disappointed at the Box Office so far. I found it to be mostly a pretty funny movie! Peter (Helms) and Kyle Reynolds (Wilson) are adult fraternity twin brothers. Peter is a proctologist who is suffering through a divorce and problems with his son. Kyle is a model who made a lot of money selling his image to a successful BBQ company, and now he’s being replaced by a monkey. Peter resents Kyle for having such an easy life, and he’s also feeling a lot of pain for never knowing his father. When their rich mother (Close) tells the twins that their father didn’t really die when they were children (like she originally told them), and she doesn’t really know who their true father is, because she slept with a lot of men (in her past), Peter and Kyle set out to find their true biological dad.
The movie is a little hit-and-miss, but it’s mostly funny. Wilson and Helms are both fantastic in their roles, and they also have great chemistry together. The supporting cast is all entertaining to watch as well, and the movie (as a whole) is a fun Christmas time comedy film experience. I found it to be really enjoyable, and I can’t think of anything substantial to complain about. It does it’s job well, and you’ll probably get what you expect from it, if you decide to watch it.
