I got a chance to watch I love my dad before its release this week, and the film made me feel all possible emotions. The film is written and directed by Giacomo Morosini in his second outing as a director. She also stars in the film, which tells the true story of when her father created a fake Facebook profile posing as a beautiful young woman and entered into a false relationship with him so that he could be close to him again after James blocked him. on social media and blocked his phone number for being a shit dad.
As the story unfolds, with Patton Oswalt in the role of his father, Lil Rel Howery in the role of his father’s best friend, e Rachel Dratch in the role of his father’s girlfriend, there is so much awkward comedy striking so well in the film! It’s full of creepy moments that I’m sure Morosini found difficult to resolve when she was going through it all, but he turned it into a fantastic story.
Morosini’s character Franklin plays a young adult who is just coming out of a hospital where he has been rehabilitated after attempting suicide. He is in a fragile state and it is so heartbreaking to see what he is going through. Chuck from Oswalt is a clueless and selfish man who seems to learn a few things about himself and relationships along the way.
It’s pretty crazy because in most movies you know the formula, so you know there’s going to be some sort of conflict, but you usually don’t know exactly how it’s going to turn out. In this movie, you know pretty much exactly how it will turn out, but it’s still really intense and hard to watch. It was a real roller coaster, but I was here for the ride.
I love my dad it will be released in theaters this Friday 5th August and will be available on demand on Friday 12th August.
