Synopsis
The hottest comic in America, Sebastian Maniscalco joins forces with legendary Italian-American and two-time Oscar® winner, Robert De Niro (Best Actor, Raging Bull, 1980), in the new comedy ABOUT MY FATHER. The film centers around Sebastian (Maniscalco) who is encouraged by his fiancée (Leslie Bibb) to bring his immigrant, hairdresser father, Salvo (De Niro), to a weekend get-together with her super-rich and exceedingly eccentric family (Kim Cattrall, Anders Holm, Brett Dier, David Rasche). The weekend develops into what can only be described as a culture clash, leaving Sebastian and Salvo to discover that the great thing about family is everything about family.

definitely was a movie
violet ₊˚⊹ ᰔJun 7, 2023As the daughter of an Italian immigrant i was guaranteed to find this pretty funny, but it’s also refreshing that it just stays in its lane of being a classic, low stakes family comedy. Sebastian Maniscalco can be grating sometimes but I didn’t mind him at all here, and…

With all the negative and mixed reviews, I saw for this, I was expecting the worst, and maybe it was me just being more forgiving, but I found this decent. De Niro is pretty much on autopilot, but even then, he was pretty amusing. It sticks to a lot of conventions and…

saw this in theaters at 1:30pm. Only 4 people in the theater. 2 left about 30 minutes in after playing games on their phone the whole time, and 2 were older ladies who laughed the whole time. So did I!! it’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen and I had the best time.…

- Demon likedAbout My Father
The trailer was basically the whole movie💀💀💀
Shiv Reddy likedAbout My FatherI thought this was hilarious 😂 Robert De Niro & Sebastian Maniscalco have great father/son chemistry. It’s almost like Meet the Parents, but full of immigrant parent jokes. I would have loved if it came out on Father’s Day or July 4th.
Gabe Treadway likedAbout My Father8.2/10 Really funny movie I don’t understand the very low ratings - a lot of hilarious scenes and De Niro and Sebastian are so funny - Leslie bibb’s character was a little weird but overall a solid comedy that I would put in the same level as meet the parents
- Travis Maginnis is "meh" onAbout My Father
DeNiro was the best part of this movie. Sebastian tried some of his bits in the movie and they felt forced and out of place. Overall good message but the direction and camera work and acting (except for DeNiro) was pretty sub par
Arron Anastasia likedAbout My FatherAn Italian Meet the Parents. Probably not as funny as it could’ve been but its a movie about family and that’s what I liked about it, because we Italians know that family isn’t one important thing. It’s everything. 🇮🇹 6/10
Jordan McKnight lovedAbout My FatherThis was an all out comedy that was well put together and gave me meet the parent vibes with amazing spin. I recommend watching this one. 9.8 out of 10
- Kward0610 likedAbout My Father
I liked this one a lot. It was funny and heartfelt. Not a great film but an enjoyable one with great performances and a good story
Em Stout lovedAbout My FatherSo funny yet so emotional I love it. At the beginning I wasn’t sure if it would be good but it really really is
Mritz is "meh" onAbout My FatherA real let down. Felt like an excuse to retread jokes Sebastian already covered in his sets.

I really loved this movie! Runtime was about 90 minutes but it was a well-paced film and the jokes were really good!! Great to see Di Niro and the cast have fun with it :) I give it a solid 9/10 please support these small indie films!!
ZMZarifa M. ElI thought he was going to be more like himself, being a comedian, rather than a hotelier, and her parents like his wife; Jewish and in California.

Metacritic

Director Laura Terruso overlooks several comedic opportunities in About My Father. It’s as though she’s working from a script that’s been edited by someone who got the situations but not the jokes.

This is sit-com level material and, as such, there’s not much new or interesting that De Niro can bring to the proceedings.

It opts for too many broad, clunky or far-fetched beats to move the story and its requisite emotional needs forward, rather than weave a more organic, effectively lived-in and, yes, genuinely funny tale.
