“i took my ratatouille bucks and funneled it into the indie scene“ – patton oswalt
cookieAug 4, 2022I Love My Dad is hysterically funny and, simultaneously, cringey as hell. I mean that in the best possible way. Patton Oswald stars as Chuck semi-estranged father of Franklin (James Morosini), a socially awkward young adult with suicidal tendencies. When Franklin blocks…

"This is incest." I Love My Dad transforms director/writer James Morosini's own traumatic experiences into an equal parts hilarious and chilling watch. It's a memorable sit-through where tears seep through the laughter, but in the end, all is well,…
nickAug 12, 2022i would have murdered my dad if he tricked me into thinking Claudia Sulewski loved me
AnthonyJul 22, 2022Was not expecting I LOVE MY DAD to work for me at first but it won me over by the end thanks to some well-earned emotion brought on by the performances of James Morosini & Patton Oswalt. I haven’t felt that uncomfortable during a cringe comedy in a long time.

Patton Oswalt will start to unhinge, And dive into a catfish binge. Starts with a text, But what happens next, Will really get into the cringe.

therese <3Mar 13, 2022destined to be polarizing in its reliance on cringe comedy (especially when considering it’s all based on real life events for the writer/director/star) but it wisely forgoes empty shock value for something more human, even if its humanism is a blacker void than most would…

this was so sad and disturbing
Austin Powers likedI Love My DadWeird, funny, uncomfortable, touching. You definitely have to put your judgements aside to enjoy this movie. Knowing it’s a true story about the writer makes the film a bit more touching than it would’ve been if made up
Juliana DiGennaro dislikedI Love My Dadcreative and definitely provoked a lot of uncomfortable feelings which i guess good art does that, but was just a little too weird for me

Is it a well-made film? Absolutely, and Morosini has a strong vision for how to shape a story and characters right out of the gate. Unfortunately, that doesn’t turn I Love My Dad into a must-watch.

Gently funny and much more forgiving than viewers might expect, the picture plays to Oswalt’s strengths and may resonate uncomfortably for parents worried about protecting their digital-native children without suffocating them or, worse, creating entirely new problems.

It may not resonate as anything deeper than a modern satire of the idea that father knows best, but it leans into its high-wire act with the fearlessness of a movie that knows just how fraught it can be to connect with anyone these days.
