About My Father

An actual comedy that picks itself up during the second half, but this soulful stand-up routine’s exaggerated skit overall cringes beyond its awkward intentions including the involved chemistries, thus limiting its enjoyment level down to Maniscalco’s viewing fans. (B-)

I’m from Chicago and Italian and this movie reminds me of my life. It has all the elements of a good movie. Had a couple of not that funny parts but it had me Smiling the whole time from feeling a connection to the characters. It was very relatable to my life. Watched with my father and it was a great movie to bond over. It’s a movie I can watch once a year or so.

Easy watching, funny at times. Two families who come together for a gathering.

Great family movie. Lots of fun and brought back so many childhood memories. Scenes with Sebastian and De Nerogoing after each other were great fun.

This picture was near perfect. Perhaps it could have been funnier but nonetheless it was a good warm-hearted movie that made you feel good. Don't always listen or pay attention to the top critics, judge a movie by your heart and you'll be more content.

Loved it! Funny and tear jerker at the end. Hilarious and even my husband loved it. Highly recommend

How can this movie get 31 percent?!? This was literally so hilarious!! People who are rating this movie rotten are trash!!

Decent but nothing that got me rolling

Given the actors involved, this was such a disappointing, pedestrian movie that just barely passed the time and almost made me feel I was wasted my time. De Niro must have done this to honor Italian immigrants, not for money. The acting was "by the numbers" and generated almost zero emotional involvement. Not even sure how the love birds met and fell in love - though their romance seemed genuine enough, it felt forced nevertheless.

I couldn't get more than 25 minutes in. It was boring me to death.
